You "found" it?  Or maybe I should ask; how much money did the scammer sucker you out of for it?  Because if you purchased the private key, your just wasting your time and our bandwidth.  Nobody who knows nothing about bitcoin randomly finds such text files.  And if you did happen by such information, it's unlikely to be yours.  So, what makes you think anyone here is willing to help you steal it?

If you truly need help with something legitimate, be honest about how you came across this information.

DireWolfM14 asked a legitimate question, how did you "find" that text file?  A little more detail would really help us figure out what this is all about.

I did check the address on blockchain and it has a balance of almost $800,000.00

Do you mind sharing that address publicly?

It's encrypted for a reason: So anyone who got his hands on it wont be able to decrypt the private key without the owner's password.
(it's doing its job)

So even if this is legit, there's nothing you can do about it if you don't have any idea what the password could be.
Bruteforcing it requires a significant part of the password to have a reasonable chance even if it'll take years, unless it's a weak short password (which less likely to be the case)

Brutefore isn't cheap either, so if you ever want to try;
make sure that you're going for it because you're actually sure about the information that you will give to the bruteforce tool/service.
Not because you feel it'll work or you'll just waste your time and money (hardware/power) or someone else's.
If someone claimed that he can decrypt it without any hint for an up-front fee, that's a scammer.

AFAIK no Bitcoin wallet software make dump/backup in such format. So assuming it's not fake that you found or bought somewhere on internet, it's probably custom format created by someone else. Without additional detail, such as which encryption algorithm used, how the salt used or total rounds, you can't even begin to attempt brute-force.

How did you find this .txt file with bitcoin address and public key?
if this file genuinely belongs to you and you created it in the past, your only realistic path is to recover the original passphrase. If it does not belong to you, then there is nothing you can do with it.

Don't even attempt to brute force it because the salt you mentioned does not make decryption easier in anyway.
Again, the balance being visible does not make it accessible. if you can share how you got to find this file, it will be nice. Who knows if this is a scam bait. Be cautious!

Don't buy BTC, it's a bubble. Wait for 50 years, if it doesn't burst, then buy it with millions.
