Title: I chose a bad password, is there anything to do ?
Post by: Erkallys on March 05, 2017, 07:52:21 PM
So, yesterday I created a new wallet and sent 1BTC on it. The problem is that I did something wrong when typping the password and I can not send funds from it now. Is there any possibility for me to bypass the password ?

Restore from seed, set a new password.

To get the seed, Electrum is asking me the password, how can I do ?

Also, what I can tell you is that this is very close to my normal password, this is just that I probably typed something wrong.

This program was just what I wanted to find. In case I manage to get back to my wallet, there will be a generous tip for you !

If nothing else works consider looking at and using the walletrecoveryservices thread and website. They are run by someone who specialises in recovering lost passwords. He has specialist hardware and software for recovering them.

I succeeded ! I greatly thanks shorena which proves him again to be the best member on this forum, but also HI-TEC99 but providing me a second chance option in case I needed it.

Nice! Glad to see you were able to recover the wallet. Most of the times these threads don't have a positive ending.
