Dictionary Attack - When you have a set of common passwords that most people use to run against

Bruteforce Attack - When you are just guessing passwords, it can be anything random in hopes of guessing correct password

Hybrid Attack - Combination of the two above

Rainbow Table Attack - Im unsure about this one but you could google it
