I'm sorry to read that you lost access to your bitcoin.

However I'm not sure that I fully understand, did you lose the seed phrase associated with your ledger?
As far as I know, ledgers have a code with X digits, not a password in words, right?

Can you tell us which wallet you used when you created your password?
Normally your seed should be 24 words long, if you didn't add any. If your wallet was Electrum for example, then your seed phrase would only be 12 words.

Btcrecover is a great tool, as hashcat is too. But I am not sure to understand enough your exact problem to be able to advise 1 specific tool

Good luck with your coins!

Thanks for your message. I do have the 24 word seed (I'll update my original post). Ledger does offer the option to create a passphrase that's attached to a pin.
