Title: Forgot my wallet passphrase, (1btc bounty) Post by: Fiyasko on December 01, 2012, 03:03:53 PM Well, Over the last month i've been sending 10% of my mining income to a savings wallet, So that when the blockchain splits to 25 (like it did) i would have some coins in savings to use.
Well, Over that last month, I forgot the password to the wallet, EDIT: after some forum chatter i feel that a great way to go about opening my wallet would be to run a script at it, Simmliar to the one that Stephen Gornick referaced. So the bounty is this, The person who posts a working user friendly guide to getting the/a script running at the wallet, Will be given 1btc. I'll consider it a "working" script if I can: Set a known test password Run the script at it with three missing variables and have it find the password in a timely fashion. If the script works for <3 missing variables then i offer .65btc Title: Re: Forgot my wallet passphrase, Any ideas?

It might help to start with some questions.Well, Over that last month, I forgot the password to the wallet, Any ideas on how i can gain access to it? Do you have a good guess at approximately what you password is? Do you know how many characters long the password is likely to be? Do you know if you would have used anything other than lowercase letters (upper case, numbers, punctuation, etc) in your password? What operating system are you using (Windows, Linux, etc)?
