That means john is already running, assumably your cracking session. I
believe it's in the FAQ. Add a --session option with a unique name (eg.
"--session=foobar") to your command above.

It will do so early (candidate number 37,706 contains a "!"), but your
password might take millions of years to crack anyway: For example, a
random password of lemgth 8 has a keyspace of 95^8, or
6,634,204,312,890,625. Given a speed of 170p/s and average luck, you'll
crack it in 618,733 years. If your password is not random, it might
crack sooner.
