Why does it defeat the purpose? It very much depends on what your goal
is. Is this just for you to practice with password cracking?

Perhaps there are more things for you to try, but as you realize it is
not guaranteed that you'd get each and every password cracked. In fact,
it is typical to get only a certain percentage cracked, which will vary
by hash type, number of different salts, password policy that was in
use, attacks you run, and your computer's speed.
