Only password

[DDEOO]

Hello. I know only passphrase, dont know which wallet, dont have wallet.dat file. Is there is any chance to recover my bitcoins only with this passphrase ?

Afaik, Without the seed phrase, private keys or wallet file, you cannot access any wallet, as these are the keys that gives you assess to a particular wallet.
To utilize the wallet you would have to first determine the type of wallet and identify the other keys necessary for recovering a wallet.

If you have a key, but you have no Idea which Lock it opens, do you think you can access the room just by having the key in your hands? I am afraid you can't.

The same applies to your situation. The wallet file is encrypted using your passphrase so that no random person can access your Bitcoins and spend them. So without the encrypted wallet file, there is nothing to decrypt (open) using the passphrase.

If you don't have the wallet.dat then you can't able to recover your wallet.

Do you still have the PC/Laptop where you installed the wallet?
Maybe you can still retrieve deleted wallet including the wallet file from your laptop/PC if you accidentally deleted it before.

The passphrase is just a password anytime you can change them unlike backup wallet.dat, seed, or private keys if you have one of these then you can able to recover your wallet.

We need to make sure we are all talking about the same thing here, OP. If by "passphrase" you mean a password or passphrase that you yourself picked as a password to your wallet file or set as an extension to your seed phrase, then no, you cannot recover your coins without the wallet file or seed phrase.

If on the other hand you are talking about a seed phrase, then you potentially can recover your coins. A seed phrase will have been generated for you by your wallet, and will be a list of seemingly random words. Seed phrases are usually 12 or 24 words long, but can be other lengths too.

The chance to recover the Bitcoin is narrow.
1) You dont which wallet is it
2) You dont have the wallet.dat file
3) You dont tell us if you still have the computer system or the hard drive where the wallet was installed cause you mentioning not having the wallet.dat file which means the wallet is already uninstalled from the computer where you once use it.

It's impossible to recover your funds honestly I told you right now. Base on my experience my hard drive gets broken and I'm using an Electrum wallet and of course, I know both the password and seed phrase and the only thing that the electrum asks is the seed phrase they neglect the usage of the password. For sure possibly the same concept to the wallet you are using right now.

This is the real reason why we always told each to other keep our seed phrase have a backup in a piece of paper not only once but more duplicates.

It depends.. what exactly are you talking about with the term "passphrase"?

If it indeed is a alphanumerical passphrase (and not a private key, mnemonic code, etc..), then your chances are literally 0 if you don't find the corresponding file and or data which it encrypts.

How many characters does your "passphrase" have?

Thanks for all, for replays. The wallet was created between 2010-2011 i have only password wich i created myself and i think at that time there was no needed any seed phrase. That PC i still have but Windows was reinstalled several times and maybe from 2013 it is not used. Tried scan HDD with Photorec, recuva, method written in this forum, but nothing helped.

If that truly is the case, then you'll probably looking for a bitcoin core wallet file (default name: wallet.dat).

The password alone for itself is worthless. Only the password together with the wallet file will give you access to your coins.

You mean the whole hard drive has been reformatted multiple times? Sounds like a lost cause then. If you truly believe you had the wallet file, seeking professional help won't hurt, but you'd have to spend some money. Personally, I'd consider it gone at this point and move on from this.
