ERROR: to much combinations possible

and read this: https://hashcat.net/wiki/mask_attack

Read it again, you mean, since I've read it a few times. Someone else has already asked about implementation so I won't mention it again. The reason for downloading the gui was because I kept getting errors about "no such directory" or -l was not valid, etc. That is why I gave up and created dictionaries for a straight attack through the gui after downloading it.

In other words, I still don't know where or how to place the last 5 characters to append them to the known 10 in a command line or in the gui. Hence the question.

Granted, it is probably very simple but I've been trying this for a few days and did read a lot of stuff.

use this mask with -a 3: password12?d?d?d?d?d

Thanks for this. Where do I put it in the gui?

.\cudaHashcat-lite64.exe: unknown option -- a
.\cudaHashcat-lite64.exe: unknown option --
.\cudaHashcat-lite64.exe: unknown option -- a

Usage: .\cudaHashcat-plus64.exe [options]... hash|hashfile|hccapfile [dictionary
|mask|directory]...

Try --help for more help.

And is the "12" part of the command or to make it 10 chars long?

Here is the start command line:

cudaHashcat-lite64.exe --hash-type 1000 d483xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx57c -a 3: password12?d?d?d?d?d
