Lost my litecoin wallet password...

[legster]

I've lost my litecoin wallet password  - the wallet from litecoin.org - any suggestions? ...I have a ton of litecoins in it and feeling VERY pissed off

[naphto]

Lost forever.

What is a ton of litecoins? As in 50 or 50,000? I ask because it may be worth my time to hack your wallet depending on your answer. Of course I would need like 50% of the take.

Alright I can certainly see what I can do, I'd need you to shoot over your wallet.dat file to get the ball rolling. If you have any idea what the password is too, like its numbers, or its a word, or its a combo of both, or a phrase that would help reduce the number of possibilities. Also if you think you may have used special characters, ect. Let me know, thanks.

Bruteforcing may be an option...if you have a supercomputer. if not, try to remember fractions of it. I hope you did not simply copy & paste the pw every time.

If it is lost: lesson learned

That's pretty funny, but if he has lost the password for his wallet, his coins are gone and he has nothing more to lose. On the other hand, perhaps computers will be powerful enough in a few years to crack the wallet's encryption.

If you think you know part of your password, you might try modifying Revalin's script here to work for you.

Pity it's not a password encryption based around SHA256...

Hehe, my password must be bruteforceproof, atleast for the 21st century. 384 bits entropy.

[errtest]

how many did you had

Have to say thank you for that link!! I suddenly realised I'd forgotten my password, raced to this thread, which very reasonably asked if I had a backup from before encryption.. Bam! Moneyed again.

ah that sucks balls

[savemydinner]

That is weird. I keeping some passwords in restricted offline place for that cases.

[chippy99]

so what happened with this? did you ever get it back?

[coveredbeetle11772]

 that sucks I would be pissed if I lost that much LTC. Did you get it back?

[MartinReynolds]

I almost did that with my Bitcoin password, I made it while I was visiting my parents house and wrote it down and left the bit of paper I wrote it on there and when I got home I checked on my coins and notcied I forgot my password. I searched everywhere and about 5 minutes after giving up hope I got a call from my mother asking me if I needed the bit of paper I had left on the side. I only had 5 BTC but that was all I have at the moment due to being new to the whole Bitcoin scene. I hope you manage to find the password, let us know how it went.

Regards,

Martin.
