Separator unmatched - No hashes loaded.

Hello everyone!

My problem: I thought it would be safe to store my crypto wallet's seed phrase in 6 parts. Unfortunately, I lost the last two words and can't access my wallet.

I read that Hashcat can solve my problem based on the first 10 known words. I installed it, researched how to do it, but it's not working. This is the command I used:

• hashcat -m 22000 -a 3 partial_seed.txt bip39_en.txt
  

The partial_seed.txt contains the first 10 words in order, separated by single spaces, all written in one line. There are no extra spaces or other characters.

The bip39_en.txt contains the 2048 words of the BIP39 wordlist.

Both the partial_seed.txt and bip39_en.txt are in the same folder as Hashcat. I also tried using the full path, but with no success. I get the following error message:

• Hashfile 'partial_seed.txt' on line 1 (word1...word5 word6 word7 word8 word9 word10): Separator unmatched No hashes loaded.
  

Logically, there are other words in place of the “word*”.

I am a complete beginner, and I couldn’t find a solution with Google search. Can you help me?

Thanks,
nrd

Would -m 22000 apply in this case? 22000 is for WPA cracking.

Also the -a 3. -a 1 is used for combining 2 files.

If you know first 10 words and only 2 are missing, generate wordlist where first 10 are known, next 2 are 2048 times 2048 which means 4,1M combinations. It is doable. And command is totally wrong.

Could one of you write what the correct and exact command is that I should use in order for it to work? I am really, really a beginner, and I would really need your help.
