Passwords

I determined the password using brute force, why does the result not match?

Task: there is a zipped archive. There is a textbook in the archive, in it - a number from 0 to 99'999.
The password consists of 12 characters, the first of them is exactly a digit, the 11 others are a combination from the set 0-9, af. Only lower case.
With the help of brute force, I picked up the password - 005078bafbe0. The archive was opened, but the result was not a number, but a set of characters: TD9Ћ“
Why did this happen? As far as I understand, the hash sum of my password and the right one matched. Is there any way to find out the real password from the current data?

If I understand correctly, you were able to extract the file from the archive. So the password still came up, and it's not about him.
If this is some kind of CTF, then maybe you should think in the direction of representing the number?
