I want to unlock them myself, but I have problems running hashcat.


Thank you, I am noting all your advice.
Are you still having issues running Hashcat? If so, what errors are you getting when you attempt to run it? What output do you get? Huh

On both PCs, the error is the same, here from the old disk on which the original wallet lies. http://icecream.me/ff575568b385d668fd97e9b2b69b6d06

You seem to be right. I remembered how it all began, and now I understand what is happening and who may have a password. here is my old topic
https://cryptotalk.org/topic/24342-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%8F-150-%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2-%D0%B8-%D1%87%D1%82%D0%BE-%D1%8F-%D1%87%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D1%83%D1%8E/

It's 14 pages of comments and I don't think I can find the info you are talking about. What you say here is that someone else have the password, is that right? But even if he has the password he does not have the wallet.dat file so the password is useless.
There is no logic, someone to move the BCH but not the BTC, don't you think? The BTC cost apprx. 1.4M$ (even more on the time the bch was moved) compared to that the BCH are only 38k$ at today's rate.
If you have not moved the BCH, someone else have either the private key / the seed, the wallet.dat and your password.
Strange.

Therefore, they turned to me on the account of the wallet.dat file to remove bitcoins, I suspect that a friend lost the file that he stole from me, very suspiciously he appeared after so many years and started talking about the file.
Now I understand what is happening, but I don’t know anything about the decomposition of the Bitcoin cache, anyway, thanks, now the whole puzzle clears up. And if this person changed the password, could this be the current problem of not accepting the old password or not?
