You're not making sense. The "key" is the password. The hash is what you get when you put the password through a specific hashing algorithm.
The hash is what's missing from the encryption key that resides in the file. Once you provide the password, the hash is generated, and provided to the file. If it is correct, the contents can be decrypted.
The password is known.
If you had the file on your computer and tried to open it are you saying you believe you don't know what to type into the field? Are you saying this string that's been provided by Lin is NOT the password that decrypts the file even though it's called out as being the password?
