     I found the javascript on Github, https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip38/blob/master/index.js , I am learning how to use it to recove the BIP38 passphrase of my DeepOnion paper Wallet.Can anyone help me and other people who lost their password?

You should have put it in a code . I am not sure whether it works for a newbie or not .
