@Snoopy I have already successfully edited the XML file to gain access.  I was curious if I could crack the actual password.

@Banaanhangwagen, 25300 doesn't work.  I have tried it with and without the salt added.  Hashcat gives me a separator unmatched error.

Any other suggestions?

is has to work (tried it right now myself), separator unmatched just tells, that the hashstring is malformed and you made a mistake while preparing the hashstring

just take the example ( its not forbidden to post them ^^)

Code:
$office$2016$0$100000$876MLoKTq42+/DLp415iZQ==$TNDvpvYyvlSUy97UOLKNhXynhUDDA7H8kLql0ISH5SxcP6hbthdjaTo4Z3/MU0dcR2SAd+AduYb3TB5CLZ8+ow==

and replace these parts with the data from your file, inside the brackets and dont delete the $ as these are the separators

Code:
$office$2016$0$100000$[saltValue]$[hashValue]
