Didn't want to hijack that other topic, so i created a new one because my problem is similar but different nonetheless:
I have an encrypted VeraCrypt Volume (non-hidden) and I somehow must've managed to sneak in the same typo TWICE when I last changed the pw yesterday :(
So I have a general idea what the pw is, only there must be a typo in it somewhere. I don't remember which encryption algorithm I used since it didn't really matter to me (so I suspect it's probably the one VeraCrypt uses by default) but I DO know the PIM I used, no chance of a typo there.
I don't know anything on how to use hashcat, but it was suggested to me as a tool that might be able to help me recover my encrypted files. If anybody could give me a step-by-step guide how to do it, I would be really grateful ;)
