Isn't there a system (Brute force?) where an account is presented with password after password until it gets it right?
Brute force is not circumventing passwords, its a guessing game to find the actual password.

"Hacking" is a way to break into a backend system, not really circumventing the actual password.

If you think of your hourse, and locked front door, for which you have the key, then brute force is someone trying keys until they find one identical to yours. Hacking is someone smashing the kitchen window to break in.
