Veracrypt password help

[emmalove]

- Did you make an encrypted container (just a file), or an encrypted partition/drive?
- Did you make it standard or hidden?
- What encryption algorithms did you use? (default = AES) What hash algorithms did you use? (default SHA-512)

I you do not remember the answers, simply make a new one. Try to remember what you did. 

Now, exercise on this new Veracrypt-volume of which you know the easy password.
- Extract the hash. Read this https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...pt_volumes
- Look up which mode (-m) to use; see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes; if you kept the default values when initializing, you should probably use -m 13721

Once you got your test validated, do the same on your "real" Veracrypt-volume of which you don't remember the pwd.

Finally, there are different possibilities to try the mask of the password. But that is for later.

- Did you make an encrypted container (just a file), or an encrypted partition/drive? An encrypted partition/drive.
- Did you make it standard or hidden? I made it hidden but I remember the password for the hidden and regular partition are almost identical so either would work.
- What encryption algorithms did you use? (default = AES) What hash algorithms did you use? (default SHA-512)
The hash algorithm was SHA-512, and I think the encryption algorithm was AES-Twofish-Serpent or Serpent-Twofish-AES.

I explained in my original post what I remember about the password. What do I do now?

Thank you I appreciate it
