Title: Lost passphrase Post by: Thistled on September 16, 2013, 12:51:28 AM Okay so I have been driven nuts for the last few days, and I am now at the end of my tether.
Bitcoin-QT insists my passphrase is wrong. I am convinced it is not. There are posts on here suggesting the same. i.e. users are convinced they have not forgotten their passphrase but are locked out. I have tinkered with some of the ruby scripts on here, and had no success. Now I am looking at j0hn th3 r1pper to see if that can solve my problem. Anyone on here used this app? Do I just run it from the .bitcoin directory and let it do it's thing? Or do I need to do something to config file? Any help / shouts / advice / pointers would possibly prevent me shaving another 10 years off my life. TIA Thistled.

Okay forget using j0hn the rIpper as I have fixed it. Looks like the Ruby script was not very good at finding my pass phrase until I substituted lower case with upper case. Man, I though that was what the script was supposed to do. I more or less had the passphrase correct before it actually found it. In the end I was only out by about 2 characters. Thanks for all the help and support. Thistled. |
