Retrieve password of my wallet

[DinoNick]

Hi everyone,

I have mined btc back in 2014 and used bitcoin Core v0.9.3.0-g40d2041-beta, now i wanted to acces my bitcoin which i haven't done yet and i tried the "dumpprivkey" but it asked to me to enter a catchphrase. I dont remember ever receiving or choosing a catchphrase or password.  How does Core v0.9.3.0-g40d2041-beta behave? Does it ask you to create a password or does it give you a catchphrase to save? I dont have this version anymore so i cant test it, i also dont know if i can download it anymore.

I assume your wallet is encrypted with a password. It is very likely that it was the same as now, you choose a password for encryption. If you can't remember a password then maybe you can try cracking it using btcrecover software or maybe even some wallet cracking services.

Hello to all, i just would like to comment what happened to me. I had an a multibit hd account that i was very happy user, but i read that not any more support and consigliate to change for electrum. So i tried to convert my account to electrum but i could not find the multibit seed, so decided to open a clear electrum wallet and then transfer my credit. I did it and now the problem is that i cant use my bitcoins as i see my electrum wallet but when i try to use it say that password is wrong or incorrect. I tried many times with all my passwords but nothing.. (it is suppose that cant be wrong type as asked 2 times true?) Then i tried to recover with the seed and the strange thing is open another account that have zero credit where i can use my password...
Now i see my standard wallet with the credit and i can see the transfer from my old multibit account but i can not use the credit. Someone can help me to understand what i can do? Thanks a lot guys

If you are serious about this, you may tell your friend to contact this wallet recovery service[1] and see if there is any chance of them recovering his wallet password. Or just contact the owner of the site here at BitcoinTalk[2]. I never heard anything bad about them, and your friend may not have another choice, so I would trust them.

Dave is quite trusted to my knowledge, but it would be unfair to say that I haven't heard anything bad about him. There was one time some user said on this forum that he was a scammer, but it is too little to go on.
