If you had an account and password then accessing their account is not bruteforcing. Bruteforcing is literally as it sounds--having only the account name and then trying as many potential passwords as possible until you get into the account. Basically, think of it as trying to kick a door open. Each inncorrect attempt is an unsuccessful kick but the idea is that eventually after so many kicks you'll hit the right spot and make your way into the room. If you have a key to the door then you're not really forcing your way in. Nor are you if you think you have the right key, try it and then go on to try it on another door.
