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
I did the same to my WDC wallet yesterday, I think I miss spelt it twice, typo, whatever it was it just wasn't my pass (which I was like 1000% sure about as it's 24 hours old). Brute forcing with the letters (upper/lower), the characters and number I had in it, the software said it will finish in around (the next big bang) LULZ.
Here's how I fixed it: (windows 7, maybe 8 will work too)
I backed up all my wallets in my roaming folder, right click on the roaming folder, select properties, go on "Previous Versions" tab, select a version that has a date after you installed your wallet, but before you encrypted it (lucky for me that was easy as it's a new wallet/encryption)... click open, copy the wallet.dat file and paste it somewhere. Replace your wallet.dat file in your wallet with the extracted one (make sure you did back up the original!!!), when you open your litecoin-qt it will start syncing from scratch, but you'll notice that it's not encrypted.
It might take a day to sync, but HELL, who give a crap, you'll have your coins back :-)
If this put a smile back on your face, put one on mine, my address is below :-)
