Er. A 5 digits code takes an average of 6 seconds to be cracked with
a brute force and non native code on a MP2K1. Few hours means at
least two, so your code should be 9 digits long (for 16 hours of
average processing time).

Indeed, information such as the password are stored in Flash memory,
some kind of memory that doesn't need a battery to be kept.
