yeah i figured it out with the phrase, and recovered it from their site.

sadly just $5 in dust and a long history from 2013 directbet action


thats it, thanks for helping, had no idea that the phrase wasn't the private key!  learn something new everydya

hi everyone, thanks so much for the responses.

i found this site
https://brutebrothers.com/wallet-recovery/blockchain

it looks like there is certainly some way i can recover.



the private key or phrase that i have, it is 18 words and 15 are regular words but there are a few words in there that look they aren't english,"hambrecht" for instance and a couple others that made me doubt what i wrote down but its clearly written

really appreciate the responses thank you all

Hello,
I found a old private key from 2013.  I want to double check it doesn't have a significant balance but i have only a few characters in the password.


is there a way i can brute force this or figure out the password with minimal guessing myself crazy?


it was a blockchain.info wallet i had way back, have the wallet id, private key and 3 characters out of a 12 character password.


wallet id was recognized, private key wasn't, private key seemed to have some weird words maybe i wrote it down wrong.
