Hehe that is a lot of solutions...
There must be some hints in the game...
If we assume that you could try one solution every ten seconds (don't know if that is reasonable)

The first one: It would take 6 days of hard work to try all possibilities
Second one 7052774768 days to try all possibilities

Well if the game is made so that there are no clues to this puzzle, then I must have made some miscalculation.
