Soooo I have $100 stuck in my wallet

[mookman209]

I have a multibit wallet I created a few weeks ago and fat fingered the password after I transfered the bitcoin I found that out! I tried every password I could think of and then some..  I assume there is no getting it back?

not without the password or an unencrypted backup

That depends on how much you remember about the password... if it's long enough and you don't remember much or anything about it, there's pretty much no chance.

If you do remember a lot about the password, you can try to use a tool that will go through various combinations to recover it. One such option is btcrecover (I'm the dev of that tool, so naturally I'm biased), it's a free & open source password recovery tool you could try. You will need to do a bit of reading to get it set up and running though. The Tutorial and the Quick Start are here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial

If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

There are also people in the Services forum who offer assistance with password recovery, so you could check there too.

Good luck...

That's the problem when they don't have a "show password" checkbox.  If you make the same mistake in typing the password twice, you're hosed.

My advice is always to copy and paste important passwords from a text file and then to encrypt this text file, copy it on a removable device ( external HDD, USB stick, etc. ) and lastly erase it from the HD.

That's exactly what I do: cut and paste never type.  Except I use an encrypted Excel file not a text file.  I once almost got into trouble when Microsoft used to encrypt Excel (over 10 years ago) with a certificate that resided in your hard drive, and then, when I took my Excel file to another PC far away, running the same version of Office, I could not open the file since the root certificate was different.  Luckily I was able to get a trusted friend to decrypt the Excel file on my original machine and send it to me.  Microsoft has since fixed this bug and apparently Excel's encryption is supposedly pretty good now, unlike the way it was over 10 years ago.

i think you can recover your password as long as you remember a part of this
i have seen a thread on this forum where a user was helping you to findout your forgotten password if you remember a part of it
