I am asking for a forum member who is not good in English: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/588btc01btc-226133 (discussion in Chinese)

He lost his password to his bitcoind wallet. As I read somewhere before, it is possible to extract individual encrypted private key from the wallet.dat . The wallet owner who lost password may publish an encrypted private key with zero balance, so other people could help cracking the key while unable to take the money even the password is found. The wallet owner will then buy the password back.

I forget how to do this. Anyone help? Thanks!
