I fully admit that I have no idea how bitcoin actually functions, but how is it that he can't possibly reacquire the password and/or have additional chances to access it? What happens if hackers try to brute force his password and get him locked out?

Crypto wallets can tied to the hard drives themselves and are generally kept offline. There are online crypto wallets as well, but they are less secure and when you hear about a major bitcoin theft it's usually involving a service that handles online wallets.
