Title: Re: Forgot password and seed on Electrum wallet Post by: shorena on May 15, 2016, 07:50:00 PM I think I have a list of max 15 different variations it could be. But there is some combination of numbers at the end wich I do not remember.. But the wordpart of the password should be one of these variations. Sounds like there is hope. You can either try it yourself with btcrecover[1] or hire someone to do it for you. 15 different combinations and 4 (assuming here) unknown numbers is only ~15k passwords to try. That should take a few seconds on a modern CPU.

The install instructions[1] are a bit outdated, yes. For electrum however you just need python 2.7[2] and maybe pycrypto[3].

(Wich I have downloaded). And it asks me to choose directory. But unable to. It says python 2.6 was not found in the registry. Pyro? If you are refering to "PyCrypto", you dont have to install it. Title: Re: Forgot password and seed on Electrum wallet Post by: sho_road_warrior on May 15, 2016, 10:14:41 PM Open a command prompt window, and type this to install pylibscrypt: C:\Python27\Scripts\pip install pylibscrypt Am failing on this. It says cant find pathway You dont need that, electrum is not using scrypt. Title: Re: Forgot password and seed on Electrum wallet Post by: shorena on May 16, 2016, 10:28:43 AM Ok, so how do I do this? If you have python already installed you need to create a token file[1] with the passwords you want to try. Read the whole page, its the most important part. Lets assume you want to test the words "Cairo", "Beetlejuice" and "Hotel_california" in the front followed by any 4 number combination. In this case the file should look like this: Code: + ^Cairo ^Beetlejuice ^Hotel_california Once you did this you copy your wallet file into the folder with the script and the token file and excecute the script.

Could someone help me out? We could pehaps make a deal? I can give it a try if you want. I need - the wallet file - the passwords you want me to try - a bitcoin address from a new wallet Since it sounds like a quick one, is 5% or 0.01 btc (whichever is higher) good for you? If, yes send the file to shor3na@gmail.com and the passwords/address via PM to my main account here (shorena). I can get to work on it in a few hours. Title: Re: Forgot password and seed on Electrum wallet Post by: shorena on May 16, 2016, 04:24:59 PM I have come to the step where I need to write a .txt token thing. So what do I write? I know the probable word and then there should be some numbers afterwards, maybe 4 or so. What do I write?

Could someone help me out? We could pehaps make a deal? How much bitcoins are in the wallet?Be careful sending your wallet and possible passwords to anyone: not only can they run with your bitcoins, it sounds like you also give them all possible combinations to all your other accounts (email/Paypal/etc.). That being said, from what I've seen shorena seems to be a good choice to help you.
