It's always a good idea to create a new and similar volume (same settings/steps) and use this with a password (could also be similar to the one that you think was used) for testing hashcat.
The first step is to follow the guide here: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...pt_volumes
of course you need to download the latest version of hashcat from https://hashcat.net/hashcat first and make sure that your OpenCL setup (GPU drivers etc) is working.
you can use the output of the command (use cmd to start hashcat) "hashcat --help" (without quotes) to see which veracrypt options are available.
To test your example volume (for which you know the password) you could just use a command as simple as this
If everything is working fine you could start running hashcat on your original volume (by following the same extraction steps and -m settings etc).

Quote:hashcat -m 13721 extracted_512_bytes.bin dict.txtwhere 13721 must be replaced by the correct hash type that you used to create the veracrypt volume (compare it with the output of --help), the file extracted_512_bytes.bin contains the 512 bytes extracted by following the guide on the FAQ (see link above) and the file dict.txt contains the password (1 password on each line, separated by newline).
