what hardware/GPU do you have ? This is important information. (from your cmd output, I assume you are using windows operating system... but it's also always good to mention this info)

Try following this guide: https://hashcat.net/faq/wrongdriver


Furthermore, your command is incorrect, I've fixed it for you:

Code:

hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 0 -w 3 -O "InputHashHere" word_list.txt

or for mask attack ("brute-force", see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=maskprocessor) of 4 characters (symbols, letters, numbers), only password length 4:

Code:

hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 3 -w 3 -O "InputHashHere" ?a?a?a?a
