Also note that (in your command) you did not specify a wordlist in -a0 mode, which enables stdin mode. So hashcat is waiting for your input (or piped input).
The wordlist run was not included in what I posted since it was not mutated and only really verified the manual attempts I had already tried. Using a more powerful machine since it will need to run and adding supported GPU option.

- remember the (possibly exact) length of the password
- was it based on words which could be found in a dictionary
etc etc
Thanks for the information about mutation of word list. I have determined same iPad is backed up on several machines and will try recovery on each. Failing that to work I will put hashcat back to work on it.
Thanks to you both.
