I am trying to recover a password for the first time. How would you solve this as I am not getting the result? 
I have tried with Hashcat and John the Ripper. 

How can I obtain a very comprehensive john.lst or nmap.lst list, or how can I make the software try all possibilities indefinitely?

Thank.

Wordlists can be found in many places or you can create your own if you have any clues to what the password could be. Just make a google search.
Many wordlists are found at fx weakpass.com and hashmob.net.
You can also brute force, but the hash rate on mode 9600 is quite low.... But if you need to, use -a3 for brute force and -i for increment. Have a look at hashcat wiki.
Oh, and using a VM to run hash cracking on is not recommended.
