Hello.
I used to use Bitcoin Wallet long time ago. After reinstall my computer I lost all of the information.
Now I found some files that probably can help me to recover everything.
The files are bitcoin-wallet-keys and the date, another mbhd zip.aes files with many numbers.
Can somebody help me if I can restore all just with this information?
Regards!

Hey... i think you can download Multibit oder Electrum an insert the Keys. Do never send any Files and Keys to other Users. You will never see them again  Wink

Maybe this helps:

Of course you must keep a copy of files and keys sent.  Wink
Just to have the ability to see them again and again

The best rule of thumb is to never send files to people if you want to ever see the bitcoins again.

The best rule of thumb is to never send files to people if you want to ever see the bitcoins again.

When helping others with key recovery my rule of thumb has been to write a program (with available source code) that they can run on their own machine to perform any recovery/bruteforce work necessary. I can try to take a look at this from my end though. Also, @OP: Check the trust rating of members before sending money or sensitive files to them, and don't send such things if you can avoid it. Much easier when you can get a trustworthy program with source code that you can run locally to perform the recovery.

However, if any of the files contain numbers that look like L1fdK2N... (starting with K or L) or 5JpikxbM... (starting with 5), then you are all set. Those are your private keys, which you can import into any wallet.

mbhd.wallet.aes would be useful if you stored your coins in the Multibit HD wallet. It's encrypted, so you should see if you might be able to remember the password to it. If it's a ZIP file, look inside. It should contain folders called mbhd-[some long number]. See https://multibit.org/help/hd0.2/restore-wallet.html for more details, reply here (or by PM) if you need more help.

I have recently become active again after a long period of inactivity. Cryptographic proof that my account has not been compromised is available.

What option of recovery you gave are correct and OP if you follow the same what he has commented then i think till now you would have recovered your wallet. If you have sent the data to the user then be careful and start to recover it fast and move the coins to other wallet for safety.

Thanks for your help.
I still did not get my wallet recovered. All of the manuals are with wallet words. I dont keep those words.
The files I have on my PC are like that:
1. bitcoin-wallet-keys-2014-02-09
2. mbhd-7xxxxxxc-8490866e-bxxxxxx8-59e26781-xxxxxxxx-20170522102537.zip.aes
There are some numbers instead of the x...
How exactly I can recovery the wallet?

Did you try (re)-installing Bitcoin Wallet and then exporting the keys/sweeping from there to a different wallet?  The software is on github.

#1. looks like a "Bitcoin Wallet" file... which is a wallet for Android Phones... check this: https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/issues/84 for some clues to help recover it.

#2. is an AES encrypted zip "rolling" backup file from MultiBit HD. According to this: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38948/how-do-i-restore-a-wallet-from-a-backup-file-in-multibit-hd the MultiBit HD dev says the file is encrypted with the wallet words... so you would need them to decrypt it, which apparently you don't have Undecided
