You first have to figure out what tool you used to create this brainwallet because there has never been a universal standard for the algorithms used in brainwallets (since it is a terrible and insecure way of creating a key). Which means there are at least half a dozen different methods of generating one from a password. Bitaddress.org only provides one method.
Warpwallet is another algorithm using scrypt as its "hash" function.

Hi, i created a brainwallet a few years ago and I lost my password, i found it but I don't know how to withdraw the money? i have the BTC address and password, what should i do? thanks in advance

Hi! If you have a BTC address and password for a brain wallet, then there are several ways to withdraw money.

1. You can use a wallet that supports importing brain wallets. Open such a wallet, select the option "Import wallet" or something similar, and enter your address and password. After that, you will be able to manage your funds and withdraw money.

2. If you have a recovery phrase (seed phrase) for a brain wallet, then you can use it to restore a wallet in another wallet that supports recovery by seed phrase. Enter your recovery phrase and follow the instructions to access your funds.

3. If none of the above is suitable, then it is better to contact the support service of the wallet that you used to create the brain wallet. They can help you with restoring access to funds.

Brain wallet are not secure, do not use it anymore. If you want to generate wallet, use HD wallet like Electrum or Sparrow.

No, it's a word that I chose, a lyric, but how do I withdraw the money from another wallet?
You can use https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org offline. For offline usage: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v3.3.0.zip

After you access the it, click on brain wallet and paste your password to get your private key and see your address. The private key starts from 5, K or L.

After you get the 5 prifix private key and not matching your address, try to check ✔️ compressed and click on 'view' again to get the K or L private key and see if your address is correct with the address it generates you.

Download Electrum from https://electrum.org/. After you setup electrum, click on import bitcoin addresses or private keys and paste the private key there. Let the wallet synchronize with the blockchain and check your balance.

It could possibly be an additional passphrase and not the wallet password if it's not allowing you enter the wallet.

To spend it from another wallet you'll need the private keys or a backup of the seedphrase to be able to import it.

What character does the password starts from? Is it K, L, 5 or 6P? I am asking you just the first character and do not paste the whole character here because it might actually be the private key.
