I am testing out the possibilites of John the Ripper. I got the following has off of my windows partition: Administrator:500:778d1eb1ad88bddb1aa818381e4e281b :b68d778de596120c13a9d04f7385b142:::

I know that one of the passwords is nine letters long. So I change my john.ini file as such:
[Incremental:Alpha]
File = ~/alpha.chr
MinLen = 9
MaxLen = 9
CharCount = 26

However, it doesn't guess any answers and automatically exits, as shown.
[adam@aeon run]$ john -i:alpha files/alex
Loaded 1 password (NT LM DES [24/32 4K])
guesses: 0 time: 0:00:00:00 c/s: 0.00 trying: A
[adam@aeon run]$

If I set MinLen = 2 and MaxLen = 12, it will still run. Any help?
