use different wordlists, use rules, try to learn something about the password.
RE: Lost Open Docx password - darkos - 05-13-2019
As far as I remember, the password if 8 characters (letters + numbers) and usually I start with "PLO*****"
But after it's not real word so I don't know if a wordlists can work fine.
After, I'm not a noob but I'm not an expert and my old PC is very slow for this exercice.
Can you help me for the command I must write in order to find my password ?
If you prefer, I can send U the hash extracted wuth office2john.
Thanks very much for your help.

in the case you describe a mask attack would be much more appropriate than a wordlist attack. https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack
Do you remember if the later characters are upper or lower case?

Usually, it's lower case and numbers (or the contrary)...
