Noob Extracting VeraCrypt MBR

I'm a total noob when it comes to hashcat.
I have a Veracrypt HDD I fully encrypted with default settings.
Being and idiot I forgot the password. I'm pretty sure I remember the letters and numbers and characters used in the password.

My current problem is I am trying to figure out how to copy the boot loader to get the hash to try cracking it.

I used

dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/home/tj/Documents/dump bs=1 skip=31744 count=512

Which created the dump file.

I then opened it using vi.

vi /home/tj/Documents/dump

Then opened hex editor.

:%!xxd

Which converted it to hex but instead of staying Veracrypt at the top its just a bunch of random letters and .

Anyone help?

Thanks.
