Sorry, but your guide is too vague even for me who've used BTCRecover few times. I never had to add or edit code while using BTCRecover. In addition, i didn't find date_variants text on any BTCRecover text/source code files.

Since you used it, then you should know that any .py file you run can be modified in any form you like and with the parameters you need...
If you want, I can take the time to put this element into the code and then run it.

Yes, it would be great if you write detailed guide. I doubt anyone (expect BTCRecover developer or experienced software developer) know which .py file should be modified and where should we put the code.

I just looked at everything and realized that I wrote nonsense... It's not that simple.
I take it back, I ran over you for no reason, sorry

I wonder if you can take and generate all possible dates through this script and feed a txt file to select a password for your wallet, can it help?

Code:

import datetime

def generate_date_variants(start_year=1950... For example):
    date_variants = []
    current_date = datetime.datetime.now()
    
    for year in range(start_year, current_date.year + 1):
        for month in range(1, 13):
            for day in range(1, 32):
                try:
                    date = datetime.datetime(year, month, day)
                    
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%m-%d-%Y'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%d-%m-%Y'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%Y%m%d'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%m%d%Y'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%d%m%Y'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%Y/%m/%d'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%m/%d/%Y'))
                    date_variants.append(date.strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
                
                except ValueError:
                    continue

    return date_variants

def save_passwords_to_file(filename):
    passwords = generate_date_variants()
    with open(filename, 'w') as file:
        for password in passwords:
            file.write(password + "\n")
    print(f"Passwords saved to {filename}")

save_passwords_to_file('generated_passwords.txt')

I would like to see this too. I've read about password recovery options for years, but never tried it myself (and I never had to try).
@aliveNFT or anyone else: Who's willing (and able) to write a detailed guide that can be followed and reproduced step by step? I like low-power systems, so I don't have a GPU I can use.
I can create a wallet.dat with password that can be used for testing by anyone. I'm thinking of a date in the last century, with 3 characters before or after it. Would this work as a basis for the guide?

Note: the guide should be ELI12-level. Let's assume the user who lost their password doesn't know much about computers.

I see. But at least you realize and acknowledge your mistake quickly.

It's possible, BTCRecover have feature which accept password list file. See this documentation page, https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/passwordlist_file/. Although your code to generate the file could be improved since some months have less than 31 days.

yea.. mybad. I guess fixable in 1min:
_{import calendar} and modifying few strokes 

But I'm pretty sure now that this is a useless script.
Each time it will have to be rewritten to fit its own values..
Today we need a date in any format, tomorrow we need something else..

If the password is something like this, I don’t understand why it took you so long. You should create a personalized search according to your clues.

He's actively refusing to download the necessary tools or script to bruteforce his password.
Yet, he's willing to send the wallet file to member he deemed trustworthy who'll probably use the same tool they suggested.

To get the whole picture, OP has another thread last year where he mentioned the same wallet: /index.php?topic=5433957.0

Without using brute force methods, it is difficult for him to achieve anything, assuming that he has set passwords that he guesses, without focusing on numbers, letters, symbols, case-sensitive...although sending the wallet.dat would be even more dangerous and contradictory.
