Yeah brute forcing a 1024 bit RSA encryption takes for ever. Getting the same hardware would not work, they key is generated by much more than the hard ware, and even then the hard drive would be different. The only chance is to get the certificate that has the key to decrypt the data. Unless you are on a domain, then you should be just fine when you talk with the domain admin.
and btw I tried the free version of that cracker on a virtual machine, it did not work at all, I created 2 admin users, encrypted a file with one and ran the software as the other, no go, it found all the keys, I gave it the original password, but nothing.
