Try to remember your password

[BitcoinXio]

You need to talk to Dave Bitcoin then. This is his website: http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/

He is a trusted person in the entire bitcoin community that will try to get into your wallet as long as you have a general idea of what you think your password is by brute forcing it. Good luck!

Do you have a backup for your wallet from before you password protected it? If so you could make a new unpassword protected wallet from it. Note this is why it's not a good idea to backup a wallet before password protecting it it's a security hole.

maybe but if i did it i don't know where it ist
can someone help here ?

It's impossible for anyone to help if you don't even know what wallet you used. Was it a mobile wallet on your mobile device, and if so, which one? Was it a wallet you used over the internet, a web wallet? Or was it a wallet you downloaded to your machine, a program, called a desktop client? This might help narrow it down. Also, what did it look like? Even if we know what wallet, if you have no idea what the password was, then people like Dave Bitcoin won't be able to help. The only hope would be if you backed up the wallet and are able to recover it that way. Did you save a backup of some words (12 or 13 words maybe), or a backup of a private key possibly?

What is the address that had the 4 BTC?

Also, I would be willing to help for a 15% fee if successful. How many characters was the wallet password? Do you know ANY of the password?

PM me if you want help, I have a few rigs that would crack a relatively easy pass in no time.

[miffman]

If you know the length of the password, let me know. I have some contacts that could help too.

[bitkilo]

Sorry to say but it really sounds like you could be up a creek without a paddle here. Do you have any idea at all what some of the password may have been or even how long it was?

[OgNasty]

Most people don't want to go out of their way to help in situations like this because of the potential for malicious intent.

4 BTC is a big amount of money for me but im in my opinion you can hire someone to recover your wallet and make some proof that you owned that wallet for some reason.

The only way he has a chance of getting the bitcoins back is to brute force the password but if the OP doesn't know the password or even parts of it then it's not possible in our lifetime.

Good lord.. 4 bitcoins and you didn't even take your time to have backups.

Sorry to say but you're pretty much screwed.

not necessarly ...


another way , in additionals good posts above.... ...

it also exist a ruby script ( made by a well know user : Revalin ) , and it could help you , depending on the OS you're on , and depending on wich part you are able to remember your password.. & also depending on your basic knowledge...

this script is also a solution for ONLY advanced users..

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w require 'net/http' require 'json' passphrase = 'oops i forgot' $rpc_pass = "some-password" def test(passphrase) puts passphrase.inspect request = Net::HTTP::Post.new("/") request.basic_auth "", $rpc_pass request.body = { method:"walletpassphrase", params:[ed passphrase, 1] }.to_json response = Net::HTTP.new("localhost", 8332).request(request) if response.code == "401" ; puts "Incorrect RPC user/pass" ; exit 1 ; end ret = JSON.parse response.body if ret["error"].nil? ; puts "\nFound it! #{passphrase.inspect}" ; exit ; end return if ret["error"]["code"] == -14 # wrong passphrase raise "WTF? #{ret.inspect}" end def scramble(passphrase) characters = " !\"\#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghed ijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~" list = [] # transpose adjacent chars (passphrase.length - 1).times do |i| testphrase = passphrase.dup testphrase[i] = passphrase[i+1] testphrase[i+1] = passphrase[i] list << testphrase end # delete one char passphrase.length.times do |i| testphrase = passphrase.dup testphrase = testphrase[0,i] + testphrase[(i+1)..-1] list << testphrase end[quote="mjglqw"]Good lord.. 4 bitcoins and you didn't even take your time to have backups. Sorry to say but you're pretty much screwed.[/quote] # substitutute one char passphrase.length.times do |i| characters.chars.each do |c| testphrase = passphrase.dup testphrase[i] = c list << testphrase end end # insert one char (passphrase.length + 1).times do |i| characters.chars.each do |c| testphrase = passphrase.dup testphrase.insert(i, c) list << testphrase end end return list.uniq end list1 = scramble(passphrase) list1.each { |i| test i } list1.each { |i| scramble(i).each { |j| test j }} puts "No luck." exit 1

this script has some differing variants , depending:

- on the OS you used
- on the part of your password, you're able to remember,
- & on few other parameters.

you also need to install correct ruby dependencies to get it working correctly.


feel free to ask more details ( PUBLIQUELY !: not in PM , due to the sensitivity of this... )

I won't answer to any PM messages about this. Thanks


Deffy.


PS:
once again: credits to " Revalin " for this awesome work

Also: these differents variants of this awesome script depends on your OS, and may not work depending on your version ( most recent ) of bitcoin core...



explainations:

The specifics change if you're on Windows, Mac or Linux, but in general:

Install Ruby 1.9 or newer (Ubuntu: "apt-get install ruby1.9.1"; Windows: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/)
Choose one of the scripts from this thread depending on which one matches what you know about your password
Paste the script into a new file called brute.rb
Edit the file to fill in the passphrase as best as you can remember, an RPC password, and any other settings at the top of the script
Start bitcoind (the daemon, not the GUI): Linux: ./bitcoind -rpcpassword=some-password ; Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind" -rpcpassword=some-password
Run the script: ruby brute.rb
Then wait.

Litecoin:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/ruby passphrase = 'I fargat my paxxward' max_digits = 5 def test(phrase) print phrase, "\t" system("./litecoind", "walletpassphrase", phrase, "20") case $?.exitstatus when 0 puts "Found it! #{phrase}" exit 0 when 127 puts "bitcoind not found in current dir" exit 1 when nil puts "Aborting" exit 1 end end indexes = (0..passphrase.length-1).select{|i| passphrase[i].match /a|x/} phrases = (0..2**indexes.length-1).map do |mask| new_phrase = passphrase.chars.to_a (0..(indexes.length-1)).select{|i| (mask>>i).odd?}.map do |index| target = new_phrase[indexes[index]] target.sub!("a", "o") target.sub!("x", "ks") target endThe instructions are the same as for bitcoind: Set your RPC passphrase, start the litecoind daemon, then start the script running. You should see the passphrases being tested followed by "Error: The wallet passphrase entered was incorrect." I haven't actually tried it on litecoind so let me know if it doesn't work. When you enter your passphrase at the top, use all "a" and "x", don't use "o" or "ks". Set the max_digits to the maximum number of digits to try on the end. It will take about a week as shown: 6 "a"s and "x"es ed to try and max_digits = 5. Every extra a or x doubles the time. Every extra digit is about 10x the time. new_phrase.join end (0..max_digits).each do |digits| (0..10**digits-1).each do |i| phrases.each do |phrase| test("%s%0#{digits}d" % [phrase,i]) end end end
