Greetings,
I created an electrum walet some time back. I stored this wallet's password and seed, on a flash drive. A week ago the flash drive
was accidentally broken when my laptop fell from my desk....I tried to guess (the pw) for a week now but with no success...
All I can remember is that I did NOT make the password complex something simple like my username here (I tried it too).
Out of desperation, I went into the password section of electrum, hoping I could just create a new password. It didn't work, but I noticed
that there in the corner, there was a lock icon and it said that my wallet was not encrypted. My question to you is can I possibly
retrieve my bitcoins as a result of my wallet not being encrypted??? Or is some other way I can retrieve my bitcoins???
If you can help me with this issue, I WILL make a donation to you!!! I truly hope to hear from you soon!
PS, somebody suggested a bruteforce method. I have no knowledge of that. Please explain how you can help, LAYMAN terms please!
If the seed is lost, then you lost the key.
If the password is lost then you can't unlock the wallet file, if you have the file anymore.
If you still have the file, and if the password is still relatively short, then it can be bruteforced. How long was your password?
If it was over 15 characters, then you can say goodbye to the bitcoins.
