protobuf bitcoin wallet - wash-cover-10 - 12-27-2022

hello i would like to recovery of my bitcoin wallet that was located on an android device using this software https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet it uses protobuf for encryption of privite key so i cant import it to another wallet without knowing my pin code it should not be hard to crack its only numbers and should not be more then 10 charaters

i followed there officail guide for recovery https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/blob/main/wallet/README.recover.md but you still need to know the pin in the last step before you import to another wallet and i have lost my pin anyone know if hashcat can crack this?

i tried to make a script that would loop over all the numbers by using the wallet-tool from bitcoinj https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj but it takes to long and would take many many years to finish and i dont have skills to make it run on gpu

maybe also intresting is this link https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29586/how-do-i-extract-my-private-keys-from-a-protobuf-wallet
