So basically when i attempt a brute force attack and try to start it it says that it is starting but nothing happens and i get returned to typing again.
Please help
are you sure you installed the driver correctly? please use these instructions:

it's probably a driver installation issue.
furthermore, you do not need to run hashcat as admin (in general).

use hashcat -I and hashcat -b for debugging and testing, respectively
You specify attack mode 3 (mask) but you don’t provide a mask so there is no work to  be done. Head over here and do a bit of reading https://hashcat.net/wiki/

hashcat uses a default mask (which is possibly not what the user wants but you get what you ask for Tongue). The problem encountered is connected to a broken opencl driver. This can be the driver of the main gpu or of another opencl device.
