I tried but I couldn't find any solution. Any idea what this is encoded in?

I'd guess SHA-512, cuz it's 98 chars in hex...

That's the problem. I don't know. He probably wanted to make me look mad because I don't know what is written there.

First of all, thats probably a SHA-2 384bit hash. SHA-2 512 would have to be longer.
Second of all, no one is going to crack the hash for you.
If the text that was hashed is very short and no salt was used, then you could probably crack it pretty fast, if you have a good GPU card (forget cracking long hashes with a cpu).
Currently there are no "clever ways" to crack SHA-2 fast, so you are stuck with brute force. You could use dictionary attacks too, but that only makes sense if no salt was used to hash the text.

If the hashed string was long, had special chars and salt was used, you are screwed. Wouldn't crack it in a million years.
"A programmer’s greatest enemy isn’t the tools or the boss or the artists or the design or the legacy code or the third party code or the API or the OS. A programmer’s greatest enemy is getting stuck.
Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford
