Title: Need help getting back into electrum wallet (Reward offered)
Post by: Lostbtctemp on November 21, 2016, 03:56:33 PM
So, I'm not even sure if this is the right section for this, But here goes.

So essentially, I lost the password and seed for my electrum wallet, And am unable to access either of them ever again. The problem is, I've got about 0.2511981 in btc still in the wallet with no way of transferring it to a new wallet. I'm desperate for help here, And from my understanding, This is the only chance i have at ever seeing that btc again. So, I'm offering half of what's in the wallet to anyone who's able to crack the password and restore access. I know they could just take all the btc if they wish, But I sincerely hope that doesn't happen. Anyway, The wallet address is 1NqAUNtaAzKvrcdKWj9rhhc5Dncaefa5KR, And i desperately need access to these funds as soon as possible. I'm almost positive there's no way to restore my wallet considering I don't have the master key either, So this is really my only choice. Let me know if i need to move this topic, Until then, Good luck and thank you.

How much do you know about the password? Its impossible to "hack" a wallet from just the address. If you however know enough about the password, I can help you try a few billion combinations of possible passwords. You can even do it yourself, with tools like btcrecover. -> https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

I honestly have no idea in the slightest, I kept the password in keepass a long time ago and kept it written down on 2 pieces of paper, Which I've seemed to lose both of.

Your Bitcoin is lost. Without the seed or the password, no one can do anything, especially if the password is randomly generated by KeePass.

Yep, if it was generated by KeePass its gone for sure.  At least your talking .25 BTC and not 25 BTC. Still, 1/4 is around $180.00 bucks today.
