#2 write down several combinations of your password with your usual typos (e.g. just type fast without thinking about the keys) #3 find the seed / hire someone to write a bruteforceattack for you specific passwords. A general attack will not work unless you have a very bad password. There are threads for that. They usually refer to bitcoin core, but reading them can give you a hint who to contact and what they will need and what not. If you used the same or a similar password elsewhere, change them all.

Encrypt it or not, with a new password. You'd probably want to back up your old wallet just to be super safe.

It's an open-source recovery tool that's compatible with Electrum wallets. The Quick Start is here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md)
Feel free to ask any questions, and good luck... Title: Re: Forgot my password of my BTC adress Post by: Nextgen on October 06, 2014, 05:53:15 PM do you remember a part of password not full but a part of it
