I was using a password manager which crashed and lost all of my passwords. I was able to reset most of them but my wallet password is lost and I have no idea what it could be. Its either 10,12, or 30 random characters. I have the json file which text starts with a 78yu and was hosted on blockchain.info. There isn't probably very much in there, but is there any way to recover it?

Wow, which password manager was that?
If you have previous backups of the password database, you could try to open those.

Password safe. I did have a backup in the cloud but it somehow got corrupted. I know the password for it but it will not work. I've tried about 1000 variations of that password but none of them work. I did an export password function on the new version of it and it added 2 random characters to the end of my password, which is strange. I have since changed password managers.

Check to see if your password manager somehow updates the password db automatically in the cloud.

How many coins did you had in there?

I would suggest to mirror the entire drive and check maybe for previous versions of the wallet, without a password. If you had any.

Good luck!

Do you have your password mnemonic? bc.i emails it to you when you create your wallet with them. You can use that to recover the wallet.
