Title: --DUMPWALLET - TXT File Empty Post by: CryptoMamma on December 21, 2017, 11:48:13 PM Hi,
I'm trying to recover my password and need to extract the encrypted hash. I'm using python 27 on Win10. Installation is working fine, all systems are go. Except the TXT file I create to dump the data always comes up empty. Can someone explain WHY it's always coming up empty? This is the command I'm using to run the script: C:\Python27\pythonw pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt FYI: When I try this command below, I get 'FILE NOT FOUND' C:\Python27\python pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt Would be so very grateful if anyone can help me understand what I might be doing wrong.

Did you install bitcoin core in the standard path? If not you have to add this parameter: --datadir=YOUR_PATH In this case your command would look like this: Code: pywallet.py --datadir=<path to directory> --dumpwallet > myhash.txt You can also dump your wallet from core itself: Code: dumpwallet "filename" Edit: Just found out that its not possible to dump encrypted wallets using pywallet without the --passphrase=PASSPHRASE command. But you could try btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)) to crack the password of your wallet.dat Please note that cracking a 10+ character password without knowing what it could be, is pretty desperate. |
