Okay after much-needed sleep and rest of my body and resting my mind I have come back to read your responses.  My seed is numbers and letters in hex format.  My xprv key starts with blor and it extends length wise longer than any normal xprv that I have ever seen before.
Pretty sure what you have there is a password protected, unencrypted wallet file... it is basically useless to you for the purposes of wallet recovery... UNLESS you have a relatively good idea what your password was! Then "btcrecover" might be able to help. You'll just need to create a tokens file and let btcrecover do it's thing... The best tutorial is the btcrecover documentation on GitHub here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial

Note that no-one can really provide you a tokens file... as it needs to be tailored to your specific password structure and how much you can remember of your wallet password. Like, is it just letters and numbers? did you use symbols? roughly how many characters was it? etc etc

I'm guessing that you do not have your 12 seed words written down somewhere? Huh
