Have you heard of shodan.io? It's a website where you can get an idea of the state of internet when it comes to ports and vulnerabilities. A quick search for port:3389 tells me there's currently at least 4,810,504 machines with 3389 exposed to the internet right now. I can connect directly to any of these machines and get prompted for a username and password. From here I can either set up a program or script which will try every username and password under the sun. Infinite Monkeys with Typewriters, it's just a matter of time before the script returns the combination I need.
