Since I can't post anywhere but here, I wanted to post in response to the "Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions?" thread.  I wanted to thank the people in that thread, especially Revalin for his scripts.  My wife and starting mining Litecoin last month just for the fun of it.  We had new ATI cards and figured why not.  We finally managed 5ltc and wanted to cash it in to help pay for some Christmas bills.  Well, the passphrase we thought we had set wouldn't work!  I tried various iterations of the passphrase that I could think of and still nada.  Found some people were suggesting walletrecoveryservices.com.  Contacted them and was more or less told recovering a passphrase for a 5ltc wallet wasn't worth their time.  For us it was and we were willing to give up 1ltc (for their fee percentage), but the offputting response we received told us to leave the greedy people be and search for another solution.  That's when I came across that one particular thread.  I read through every single page of it and after nearly 3 hours of trying to get at least one script going, I have a few running on our machines to try to recover our passphrase.  No idea if it'll work.  No one in that thread is telling people they have to pay to get help.  Sure, they're accepting donations, but aren't turning people away because the wallet isn't fat enough for them to justify helping anyone!  So even if we don't wind up being able to recovery our passphrase, thank you Revalin and the other folks in that thread for being willing to help people out!
