1st of your not an idiot, im sure there is not one of us on this forum who has done something stupid at least once in our life time.  The whole point of your security was to make this wallet unbreakable, so i am 99.9% sure it cant be done, and if you do manage to get it by some sort of brute force or hack then i would be incredalby worried. 

some times we just gotta learn from expensive lessons...... Undecided

Exactly this. I don't think you'll be seeing those coins again, unless ofcourse you somehow recover the file that contained the password because that long a password can't be remembered or brute forced, don't know what the guy who's trying to do that is thinking.

Wow Google Chrome persisted this sites cookie through an operating system shutdown from the battery running out on my laptop...Anyway...

I figured I'm not seeing that money anytime soon, maybe in the future like other people said.

Thanks to everyone that made a suggestion or comment, I pretty much knew this from the beginning but I figured it doesn't hurt to at least ask.

I don't manually run TRIM on my SSD's, does it run automatically? I tried using testdisk (as suggested) but it is unusable on my system for whatever reason. The partition type keeps coming up as Linux even though it is an NTFS partition. My SSD's are in RAID0 though so that may be what's throwing it off I don't really know too much about how all that works.

Have you tried this idea?

Is TRIM enable on the SSD? If not, it may still be possible to recover.

edit: to check, open up cmd and run:

> fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

A return of 0 means TRIM is enabled

I've used testdisk with variable success in the past (not on SSD mind you), it's my only recommendation unfortunately..
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

That's a quick and easy way to test to see if TRIM is enabled on your SSD's.

Unfortunately, it is enabled.

Let me start off by saying that........I am an idiot.

I am usually incredibly careful when dealing with any amount of coins. Even if I know the password to my wallet, I send a few coins from it just to make sure I have the right password (it probably is a little overboard). This time, I sent 2.0 BTC to a wallet that I believed I had the password to; but sadly as you can tell by this post, I do not have the password. I remember saving it to a text file but then deleted it thinking I wouldn't need it again (for whatever reason)...

I know that it is a random 63 digit ASCII password generated from https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm. Entering one of these passwords in to their password haystacks (estimates how long it would take to brute force) gives a grim message (something like 1 trillion * 15 centuries to brute force).

I've tried some scripts I found on this site but they're outdated, they output some error about not finding an RPC server and it now uses bitcoin-cli instead of bitcoind. I replaced all instances of bitcoind with bitcoin-cli in the script but I think the syntax has changed cause I get another error.

How likely am I to get my coins back, give it to me straight. I know it's my fault, stupid stupid mistake; but 2.0 BTC is a paycheck to me.

Edit: Spelling, words.

Then you should have paid closer attention, there is no getting that back and you know it yourself.  I love when people talk about "cracking" a password on wallets.  You do realize that "mining" is just hacking the hash for the transactions and that you might as well use the same computer to mine as to try to crack a wallet password.

I am also sorry for your loss, instead of wasting time meditating I highly advise you attempt to recover the lost password file if you saved it, only bet mate.

Good luck.

If you are using online wallet just check it in your pc. There is one paper wallet while you initially start the wallet you can get that. If not due to security concern we can't find out the password as it is.

What exactly are you talking about? I am confused.

Oh and btw, I am not the one who lost the coins, if you read the OP, you'll know who he is and what actually happened.
