Problem with my wallet on electrum ""Cannot read the file"

[thenarog]

"In your previous messages, you also said the file contained plaintext addresses?

No idea about btcrecover but yeah it's expert-level stuff.  I also read that it has been unmaintained for many years, so not sure if it's safe to play with that."

It was not the same wallet. Like i said before, i have a lots of wallets.  I thought it was the one, but its not. The only wallet that i can't open, my primary password won't work.
He is the one.
If you have another solution, please tell me. And i ask something earlier, about a software to try one letter or one number for the password. Just one.

The only way to know if it has money is to decrypt it.
Based on what I heard, recovery experts accept to work on wallet hashes only if they get paid first, to avoid being scammed.  But if I understand correctly, you have no idea what is in the wallet.

I will not pay first. There are a lot of scammers. I didn't find one serious company for recovering. I'm not sure about the wallet. Maybe there is money on it, maybe not.
So hiring someone, to tell me that finally, there was nothing on it...

I am not fucking scummer. Noone will help you.

All scammers says that. But you are true, about nobody will help me. They all want the wallet, not to help.

Okay, since you said that it's asking for a password and the contents look like a fully encrypted wallet file.
That particular wallet should be an Electrum wallet.


Finally. Yes, it is.

This is why I was asking OP to post separate topics per wallet but he insisted so here we go, a confusing thread.
At least the OP's topic and this other wallet are both Electrum.

Its not a confusing thread. I didn't know that the first wallet was a dogecoin wallet. I was sure that it was an electrum one.
And i was pretty sure to it was a copy of the primary wallet. It was not, but stop saying it's confusing.

Yep, I'm still available for password recovery (through GPU-based bruteforce) if needed.

I know that, why i should hire someone when i already have a good gpu ? I dont know why people here can give me the software that i need or how to do it, because its not a problem about GPU.

I 'm trying btcrecover. I'm pretty sure it's just a variation of my primary password. If i recover only one letter or only one number, i can get back my password.
But no one wants to tell me how to do it and if it's possible.

Look, a user already got confused of the wallets.
Of course, the owner or someone who've been reading the thread will be able to follow through.
But it's a chore for someone who has the same issue who's looking for potential solution in the internet and stumbled upon this thread.
This is why it's a rule to separate topics to keep treads in check.

I already pointed you to BTCRecover's Documentation which has more than enough information than anyone can share.
It includes video guides from setup to actual usage.
And yes, it's possible if it's only a small typo or variation of your known password so go for it (fingers crossed)

Bro, i told you , i was sure that was the right wallet. Everybody understand the topic. Not everybody have the skill to reconize the right wallet and which software wallet is from.
I'm not a specialist. I'm working on it like hell , but its so hard. And running python on windows 11 is a nightmare. I wish i can give the wallet to someone and he will do the job for 20 %
But the numbers of scammers , it's insane. Nobody can be trusted.

Yes i read it but i didn't find the way that you can put one letter or one number on the file, then the software make the search if it's in the password.
Can't do it. And i can't believe that btcrecover its the only solution. Must be another software, but they don't want to know about it.

You must be talking about the software used by wallet-password bruteforce services,
Then it's most likely a modified/original version of BTCRecover/Hashcat or a proprietary software that they've developed themselves.

If BTCRecover isn't an option for you, which is already specialized for crypto wallet, then the other option "Hashcat" is more complicated to use than that.
They have their own forum BTW, you might find Electrum-related topic there using search: hashcat.net/forum

Sorry but this makes no sense, or it's a language problem.  If you are sure about the password and only one character is missing, you don't need any software, it only takes a few minutes to try all combinations for that character manually.

Nice i will try it. You telling me that in 2025, there is not any software except btcrecover ? And not single one software who runs in windows 11 with a simple installation  ?
This a joke.

No shit ? And you don't think that i already try it ? My variations are more complex. It's not just one caracter or one number. The first step it's to be sure that is close to my primary password.
Then, trying to add or modifiy one number or one letter, to get close to the real password. Then, find it.

Can you understand now ?

My friend, there is a problem with your understanding of how passwords, hashing and encryption work.  
You can't test a password character by character and guess how close you are to the correct password.
There is no software on Earth that will do that. Not in 2025, not in 10 years, not in 100 years.
 
And for password cracking, you will need lots of hashing power (not a basic desktop with one GPU).

I will stop following this topic as it seems that it's not getting anywhere.

This is pure bullshit. Of course, they are softwares like this but not for the public.
You can do a lot with one single GPU with time and power. We are talking about a simple password with a variation, not cracking a quantum code to unlock CIA facilities

Feel free to stop it. I know this kind of speech : "You will never success it, there is no such thing ... Then comes to "give me your wallet to me and i will unlock it" And here's a good scam and fooling people.
Yes get the f out of here and don't come back.

LOL, good luck cracking this wallet, or asking for free 'help' from advanced users with this kind of attitude.  
Friendly advice: I'd recommend taking a introductory computer security course to understand the basics.

"LOL, good luck cracking this wallet, or asking for free 'help' from advanced users with this kind of attitude.  "

No problem, you are not one of them. You just want my wallet and spit on me, "ho look , you are a noob "
Your scammer attitude, don't help at all. Instead of giving lessons that you know are not true, please give us a real advice. And not "just ,ho you know i'm here to crack it, give me your wallet" Sure this kind of attitude helps everybody.

Friendly advice: I'd recommend taking a introductory computer security course to understand the basics.

Yeah, we all know you are a pro, a specialist. So much skills, that only thing that you propose its "give me your wallet and trust me"
The only basics that you know, it's "how to scam people" and we are not interested. So take your f**king skills, your "superiority" and your friendly advice and get the f out of here like you said before.
