I forgot my blockchain.com wallet password. How to convert my wallet backup to hash?
Steps to Convert a Wallet Backup
Locate Your Wallet File: Find the wallet file on your computer. For many Blockchain.com wallets, this is a file ending with the .aes.json extension.
Download blockchain2john.py: Obtain the blockchain2john.py script, which is part of the John the Ripper password-cracking suite, according to this GitHub issue.
Run the Script: Open a command-line interface (like PowerShell or Command Prompt on Windows, or a terminal on Linux/macOS) and execute the script with the path to your wallet file.
If you have an older wallet or need to ensure correct format, add the --json option:
bash
python blockchain2john.py --json <path_to_wallet.aes.json>
If you are not using an older or specific version that requires --json, you can run it as:
bash
python blockchain2john.py <path_to_wallet.aes.json>
