First of all: Don't give up.
Attacking a Wireless Network is not trivial (like recovering the password from a md5 hash).
Techniques (wifi device, tools), tactics (attack and protect filters, passwords, rules, masks, get information about the target) and procedures (environment, workflow) is the key to the goal.
The steps are always the same:
The examples I have shown seem simple. But that is not the case, because they reflecting an experience acquired over 35 years working (and learning something new every day) in signals and crypto analysis. That is neither witchcraft, nor NSA stuff, nor a design flaw - but a lot of experience.
BTW:
rockyou word list is not the best choice, because this list is very (very) old and not related to WiFi. Mostly you'll never find a PSK using this ancient list.
You can assume that everything described above is working as expected, because all tools are running in the back ground of
https://hashcat.net/cap2hashcat/
and
https://wpa-sec.stanev.org/?stats
They (successfully) converted thousands of hashes and recovered thousands of PSKs.
BTW2:
"hashcat!" is not the PSK for the hashes you reported here

The steps are always the same:
Code:
clear your working directory
attack the target
convert the hash to hc22000 hash file
feed hashcat with the target hc22000 file (double check this) and a good word list, rules or masks (or a combination of them)The examples I have shown seem simple.
