Veracrypt - lost password. - acik - 10-18-2022
Hi. Two years ago I encrypted the entire disk with Veracrypt (Windows)
The password was very simple, some letters followed by some numbers.
My memory say: "123456qwerty" or similar.
I stopped using that computer in 2021, now after a year I can't remember the password anymore.
How can I try to recover the password, considering that I know that there was only some numbers followed by some letters ?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks.

Extract hash:

Once you have the hash, use a masked attack or brute force:
