Is 'File not found' the only output? Or additionally something like No such file or directory - C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin ?
Did you install bitcoin core in the standard path? If not you have to add this parameter: --datadir=YOUR_PATH

In this case your command would look like this:

Code:

pywallet.py --datadir= --dumpwallet > myhash.txt

You can also dump your wallet from core itself:

Code:

dumpwallet "filename"

Edit: Just found out that its not possible to dump encrypted wallets using pywallet without the --passphrase=PASSPHRASE command.
But you could try btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover) to crack the password of your wallet.dat
Please note that cracking a 10+ character password without knowing what it could be, is pretty desperate.

Hi,

I'm trying to recover my password and need to extract the encrypted hash. I'm using python 27 on Win10. Installation is working fine, all systems are go. Except the TXT file I create to dump the data always comes up empty. Can someone explain WHY it's always coming up empty? This is the command I'm using to run the script:

C:\Python27\pythonw pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt

FYI: When I try this command below, I get 'FILE NOT FOUND'

C:\Python27\python pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt

Would be so very grateful if anyone can help me understand what I might be doing wrong.
