trouble with excel password recovery
#1
I have the office hash for the file it's   $oldoffice$4*XXXX*XXXX*XXXX so going by the guides i found here, I've tried

on windows, from command prompt

hashcat.exe -m 9800 hash.txt -a 3 -w 3 ?b?b?b?b?b

however the final result i get back from it is:

Two questions
  1. Am I following the guide correctly. It's an office 4 file so that suggested i use -m 9800   (or should i use 9810).  I was following this : https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-3665.html
  2. I kept getting the error on finishing the job:   LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: bad file descriptor
I first thought it was because it couldn't write a file for some reason so I removed the output parameters ... I originally tried running it as hashcat.exe -m 9810 hash.txt -a 3 -w 3 ?b?b?b?b?b -o hash.rc4

that came back with

A point in the correct direction would be helpful.
Thanks
