I bought a Coldlar pro3 cold wallet, but after a long time I forgot the password. I thought I could use the mnemonic phrase to restore it, but now the address generated by importing the mnemonic phrase into other wallet software is different. Officials said they did not use the conventional BIP standard algorithm. Does anyone know this algorithm? I really need your help.
I did a few research and it seems like Pro3 uses a so-called "
mnemonic enhancement mode" which also use the payment password to derive the child keys.
So even if you know the correct derivation path or bought another device from them, you still need the payment password to recover your bitcoins.
Are you planning to bruteforce it after knowing the correct derivation path?
Since it's closed source and the key derivation algorithm isn't disclosed, try to ask them for the "
derivation path".
(
their help page mentions iancoleman's BIP39 tool so the payment password may be a BIP39 passphrase)
There is a ColdLar ANN thread here in Bitcointalk but I can't vouch for the author's integrity:

In the past, there was an official APP that used mnemonic phrases to store private keys, but now it has been removed from the shelves.
I've searched the "
internet archive" (
archive.org) to see if the assistant app is saved there but I failed to find a working link.
