The .rec file contents you posted in an earlier message looks like you
just started john with default parameters.
Meanwhile you are processing incremental mode.

Continuing that session only makes sense if you expect the password to
be not longer than 8 characters.
Is that a password you picked, but forgot?
If you expect the password to be longer than 8 characters, you should
try other attack modes (word lists / rules), customized external mode,
depending on what you still know/remember about the password.
(Keep a copy of your current .rec file just in case you want to continue
that old incremental mode session.
