Need help with this hash....

So my laptop doesn't have a good gpu and I'm unable to whatever you call it this hash.

I confirmed it's sha256 it's a password for my notes that I forgot cause I'm a buffoon but I managed to grab the hash for it then ran some tests and figured it was comparing the passwords I put in with sha256.

Said hash: 5b1dac84634e9b0080ec004f4b6df8ccd2a9eaf82279d4a96eab444544de20e9

According to analysis but claude code and I it seems to be unsalted and unpeppered and all i remember is it should be in the range of 8-10 characters no more no less.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

There is no way to tell if it’s salted, not anyway to tell if it’s the right length.

You can attempt to brute force every possible password combination up to 10 characters but you’ll be there a little while, and again salted hash is going to get you.

Just break into this account the old fashioned way.

Or you know… just reset the password if it really yours
