Hi All,

My cousin has a small situation, he uses keypass to keep his passwords nice a safe (and so he remembers them) as he uses strong passwords Capitals, lowercase and numbers. No extra punctuation.

Today his keypass wallet got corrupted and he didnt have a backup so now he has lost 11.7 BTC, unless someone can crack it.

He knows its none of his usual passwords as its a secure one generated on http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ and could be up to 15 character long.

Now, he has told me he is either willing to get someone to crack it for him and give him some of the btc (25%) or sell the wallet for a fee just so he at least gets some of his money back.

Just wondering if anyone else has any suggestions? are there any crackers out there that can brute force it or reverse engineer it?

he only lost the password 15 minutes ago.

Thanks for any help

an old backup before the password, insert that wallet.dat into the client, after removing previous, and he might be good to go - worked for me about 18 months ago

Indeed it is not rare to see people forgetting their password, especially when they created a special "secure long password just for their bitcoin wallet. Smiley

He found his password back, or it was just an effort to scam. This wallet is being used to receive and send funds.

You are right. There are multiple send and receive transactions on the same day that the thread was created and on subsequent days. The OP might have simply made up that story and posted a random address in order to scam other members. I believe we should err on the side of caution and have this thread reflect on his Trust rating. If he was being honest and the issue simply resolved itself on its own, then he could always post back on this thread with a message digitally signed with the posted address. Frankly speaking though, the OP's account looks like a shill account.

Considering that he disappeared around the time that everyone had called him out on his scam I really wouldn't be surprised that it was a shill. It is almost never worth it to believe these - the wallet they give you is likely not to contain the private key and you will never know until you crack the password. But then since the password is meant to be long and hard to crack by the time you uncover the scam the scammer will be long gone.
