Title: Getting bitcoin address from blockchain.info wallet.aes.json file Post by: mforno on October 09, 2018, 11:47:36 AM Does anyone know how I can find out how much I have in my old blockchain.info wallet?
I have the wallet.aes.json backed up but dont know the password to login. Is there a way to find out the bitcoin receiving address to see how much is in the account?

But you need a pretty decent clue on what it might be. For example, can you limit the amount of characters it had (e.g. 6 to 8 ) ? Can you tell for sure which symbols you have (or have not) used ? Do you regularly use any specific sequence (e.g. always 123 at the end) ? All of these things are helping to decrease the search space. If you can guess it good enough, you can bruteforce it.

Yes, I setup up btcrecover lastnight only to discover that I had to know part of the password to start with. Is there a way to just bruteforce the password without knowing any part of it or will that just take too much time to compute?
