I probably misspelled the encryption password for my Bitcoin-QT.

I dumped the relevant data from the wallet.dat and I made a reasonable dictionary to test for the keys.

But I don´t know how to work from that, is there any script there o library I can use for that?

Thanks

Every dictionary word? That's not the impression I got from OP's post, s/he said s/he "probably misspelled" their password and that s/he made a "reasonable dictionary" which I took to mean a bunch of likely misspellings.

If he really wanted every dictionary word, that sounds more like a wallet thief than a misspelled password to me (just to be clear, that's not the impression I have).

Regardless, that thread mentioned above has a lot of good info. I'll go ahead and plug my own recovery tool which can help, although I'm clearly biased... a summary is here if you're interested, as is a link to the tutorial: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover
