I seem to have forgotten my password to one of MultiBit wallet.

Can someone recommend me a way or some password recovery tool to get it back?

Tried these

Do you have old unencrypted backups?


saving-data/wallet-backup = A directory containing your encrypted wallet backups.
saving-data/wallet-unenc-backup = A directory containing your unencrypted wallet backups.



Quote
If your wallet is unencrypted then the backups are unencrypted and stored in the 'wallet-unenc-backup' directory. Then, when you add a password ALL your unencrypted backups are encrypted with your password and the old, unencrypted, copies are secure deleted.

Then all new (encrypted) backups go into the wallet-backup directory.

That way there are no unencrypted copies sat around on your disk.
