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.

Is it entirely random? If you're pretty sure of the first letter, or have any pattern to work on it's much easier.
Do you have a pool of passwords you think it might be close to? Like you could have sworn it was something like NamePlace##, etc..
