Hi all,
I wonder if someone could help. It seems so I have lost my password to my Bitcoin Core Wallet.
I have tried to use the Power Shell Script below:
I got the Bitcoin Server running on my Laptop, it also prompts me for a password.
But as soon as I run the script below it gives the "Internal Server Error" message.
Could someone please advise?
# Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File C:\Users\admin\Desktop\BTC_password.ps1
# Startup Bitcoin Daemon
# cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\daemon\
# bitcoind.exe -daemon
# bitcoin-cli -getbalance
# Start BTC_password
# cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\daemon\
# Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File BTC_password.ps1
#rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
#rpcpassword=4WPKLxcsfewMAJpPb6jNLEVPgRvWCTYPMjqNMucg43gQ

# Also works for litecoins probably (untested).

# Pardon any convention I broke in this language (for I did not study any conventions of this language).

# This script creates every possible combination in a depth-first order.

# How do I use this?
######################################################
# - Edit the values in the next block of this script to your likings, make sure you set your RPC password & username.
# - Run the daemon service found in Bitcoin\daemon (bitcoind.exe)
# - Run this script (save as SOMENAME.ps1 and right click -> run with PowerShell.
# (To run it you might have to change some settings regarding allowing PowerShell scripts to run.. Google this.)
# (Press CTRL+C to cancel if you wish to stop it.)
# - Grab a cup of coffee as it tries a gazillion combinations.
# - Get your coin back.
# - Maybe donate a portion? ;)
# - DELETE THIS SCRIPT (Shred it!). It holds way too valuable information about your password!
