Mask Attack with a "blank" value?

[solace]

Ahh okay, I will take another look at it again. Thanks for your help this is a lot to learn

And the reason I'm putting those masks in are to try so solve:

_password
__password
password_
password__
_password_
_password__
__password
__password_
__password__

This is just with the regular characters. But now I have to try the line carriages, and that BOM character stuff. To cast a wide net I'm trying it all.

But of course now I understand I'm not using the return characters right. I'll repost this afternoon. What a journey
