How to access old Ripple (XRP) wallet file from 2017?

[Johnbelll]

Dear all,

I had put my XRP by end of 2017 onto a desktop wallet, probably (but I am not 100% sure) from Rippex which does not exist anymore, even the link to their website is dead : https://rippex.net/. All I have is a file named "wallet" with a string of 600 characters inside, and a password.

How can I recover them the access to my XRPs? I need to access them as quickly as possible as there is an airdrop soon.

Thanks you very much in advance for your help!

I'm not a fan of XRP, but I think your case was already solved from this site:  https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/21166-rippex-removed-wallet-software-how-can-i-open-my-wallett/

Just follow the steps at the end of that post...

Me neither, and the wallet at he end of this post is also not existing anymore...

this is how you can restore your coins. https://crypthena.com/rippex-wallet-closed-full-instruction-how-to-restore-you-coins-ripple-xrp/

its from the thread provided by pedrillo0, it recommended a toastwallet which you can import your backup code to access your ripple. I'm not a fan of xrp either but you know i still have my ripples since 2016 that i kept on my wallet. never touched them actually even when its price hits $3. i don't know why.
