Title: Forgot Electrum Password, any help?
Post by: impged123 on May 03, 2017, 01:14:03 AM
Hi, I lost my electrum password, and was wondering if there is any way someone could use a dictionary attack or brute force attack for me. There isnt any BTC in the wallet, however i used the password for another important thing, so the password is just what im looking for. It is not a very strong password and I remember the whole thing except for a few characters/digits at the end. Im hoping someone will be generous enough to do this pro bono, as i really just need to figure out this password and dont really know what to do.

Yeah, I can give it a shot for you. PM me with the encrypted_key and salt info and what you think the password might be and I'll try to crack it for you.
