Look. I forgot the password to my account for the email server. Can you help me figure it out? I do, in fact, have a hashed version of the password (not that you'd be able to do anything with it):

07fc8e7f9f675b4281b1ac40ca187eb5da698024cb6bf893be62a96da33cfad5

Note: submit flag in format spartanCTF{PASSWORD}

Solution: 
We got cyphertext 07fc8e7f9f675b4281b1ac40ca187eb5da698024cb6bf893be62a96da33cfad5. The first i think in my mind. I want to analyst the cyphertext. When i analyst the cyphertext with this url https://hashes.com/en/tools/hash_identifier. I got the algoritm of cypher text. The cyphertext is SHA256.

I use john to get compare password of SHA256. To use john the ripper to brute force the SHA256. I write the cyphertext to file txt.

After that i use john to bruteforce the cyphertext password.
