Would i be able to use hashcat without any technical knowledge

Prob not, its complicated.

If you have a "vague" idea... you might be able to use btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)

It requires you to be able to install and use Python... although the instructions are relatively easy to follow. The hardest part is creating the correct "token" file that the script uses to generate the passwords guesses.

NOTE: I think btcrecover requires you to have the wallet file... not the encrypted private keys.

If you only have the encrypted private keys... you'd probably need to use hashcat or some other app that can try and bruteforce passwords on AES256 encrypted files

Several years ago I bought some BTC and stored them in MB classic. Recently my laptop crashed and it seems I don't remember the password to my wallet correctly.

For personal reasons I could use the extra cash in my wallet.

Is there any way to recover the BTC if I have:
- an encrypted copy of my private keys
- only a vague idea of what my password was

Thanks so much to anyone taking the time to read this and reply.
