Hey there. I'm trying to recover a password from a work SQL server and am completely new to the hash cracking sphere. I'm closely following a guide written that used a much older version of hashcat (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles...ng/96540/) to figure out how to retrieve the password, however I'm stuck with the "Invalid argument specified error". Could anyone please help me figure out where I went wrong?
 

hashcat32.exe -a 3 --pw-min=2 --pw-max=12 -m 131 -p : -o
"C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\hashcat-3.20/SQL_passwords.txt"
-n 2 "C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\hashcat-3.20/Hashes.txt" -1
?l?u?d?s ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
Invalid Argument Specified
