The case with working with hashes is you cannot simply "split" a hash into finding specific characters or parts of it. You need to find the exact match as that is what a hash is composed of.
So if you know your password is exactly 5 characters long than yes, your on the right track. However if you wallet password is say 28 characters long, you will not find the first 5 characters with your attack. So unless you have some idea of the password, brute forcing is not the way to go as it is very task heavy and will take decades on slower hashes.
Thanks for the advice! Do you have any tips as to what else I may be able to try? The thing is that I honestly never recall setting a password for this wallet and have tried all of the things I would normally use in many variations but still have not had any luck.
