Title: Password lost or typo, on bitcoin QT
Post by: BitCoinNutJob on November 12, 2014, 03:44:11 PM
Tried sending some coin and my password wont work, pretty sure im using what i thought was the correct password so maybe just a typo with 1 character different.... what are my options, i google and find services like:

http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/   - 20% fee
http://www.recoinvery.com/ - free

Also i just PM a guy from this topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=717334.0


Im worried about who to trust, can anyone point me in right direction?

If it was a typo the good news is that your not starting from scratch. Keep trying combinations with similar letters / numbers.
