OpenSSL Bad Decrypt - Using -md md5 fails to resolve

I'm running the line openssl enc -d pbkdf2 -aes-256-cbc -a -nosalt -pass "pass:$SALT$PASSWORD$SALT"   To decrypt a file.

I'm receiving a Bad Decrypt error message similar to the one in the wiki article for SSL, except the ending is evp_enc.c:610 instead of 540.

Tried using the -md md5 fix and this did not resolve the issue. The symbol output is different, but that's all I know.

openssl version is 1.1.1.l-1

Should I be attempting another cipher? Noting that I don't know what message digest was use, and I was advised to use the cipher above.

Thanks
