HELP Forgot Password and Lost Seed

[bananagram]

Hello all,

I recently forgot my Electrum password and, despite tearing apart my house, have been unable to find the paper i wrote my seed down on. I read a thread on this site in which a person was able to enter the wallet using "brute force" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170188.0). I have 0.5BTC in the wallet and if you are able to help it would be really great and I would be more than willing to give you a 10 or 20% reward (not that you couldn't take it all but I would really appreciate it if you didn't). So anyway if anyone is up to the challenge please reply and I'll post the .dat file.

Do you remember ANYTHING about the password? every detail you remember about the password is important, as it will dramatically decrease the time needed to bruteforce.

Yes I'm interested to know the same thing , do you remember at least some characters/words of the lost password ? Or maybe have you forgot everything ?

There are some brute-forcing tools out there available for Electrum (assuming you have a decent idea of what your password is).

I rather like btcrecover (tutorial is here). It's free and open source; of course, being the dev of that one I'm a just a little bit biased...

You can also find a tool towards the end of this thread for Electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495

There are also paid services that can help you out, although I'm unsure of which ones support Electrum. Here are some starting points for the paid services:

• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.0
• http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/
• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=717334.0

If you have any questions about btcrecover, please just let me know.

Good luck!

in order to brute force, you need to know something about your password or seed. there is no way to do that from groundup
