5 btc lost?

So I have a really old mycelium wallet PDF backup, which includes the xEnc private key.

I also have the 16 char password written on the printed PDF.

I know the password is correct, as I've recovered the wallet in the past using it.

Now, when I try to recover the wallet (even using the same version app of mycelium that created the PDF) it says the password is incorrect.

I tried using myceliums backuputil, but that just gives me the same result.

So my question is.. 5 btc gone? Or is it possible to brute force the damn thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will generously tip whoever finds the solution with 0.5 btc.

Thanks!
