How did you obtain the wallets? Are the wallets yours? It seems suspicious how many new accounts have been trying to get help recovering wallet passwords.

BTCRecover[1] is a good place to start. Its fruitless if you don't have the wallet files though.

What else we may say.... good luck.

If wallets are yours (I mean - not bought from some Russian sellers here on forum) you may try to contact Dave from https://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/ - the most trustful company. But do not waste his (and yours) time if wallets comes from the market and already one hundred people have them.

Seems that the sudden uptick in BTC value the last day or 2 is starting to bring all of the "get rich quick" folk out of the woodwork :-\

Not only is it "Help me recover password", there has been a number of "help me recover corrupt wallet.dat" (and also the usual "stuck transaction! help!1!!!!!!!!!!1111!!" ::) ) posts... The scammers are likely doing a brisk trade.

Another one  ??? ???
That's the fourth or fifth scammer with the same request in the last couple of day's.
Don't send him any cash. !  ::)

If you bought some old wallets/hashes/whatever, you got scammed.
No one is selling you a wallet with 100+ BTC for a few bucks.

If it truly is your wallet, feel free to give us more information about your situation. But until then most people are going to assume you are one of these people who got scammed by buying such a wallet with the hope of earning a quick buck.

If you only  have the hashes then its no use, you need the wallet.dat file or wallet.aes.json for blockchain.com
