cant seem to get my password to work even with joric's pywallet fork. the functionality of encryption prevents me from getting around this encryption PW huh? i have the right password, is it really possible the bitcoin client corrupted my very password?

as such, all i can get is the encrypted keys in awallet dump. any way around this issue?

Check the .dll's in the root
What?

Anyway, the dump is nothing but a text file which can be opened with any standard editor.
I already erased the dumps I played with before, so I cannot look up the prefix for the private keys.

But I remember that it wasn't very complex. Create a new unencrypted wallet and just copy+paste a string into the key field and it'll tell you if the import was successful.
Also, I think I had to switch the format option from base58 to hex.

Have dumped my wallet with pywallet.py after my encrypted bitcoin wallet crashed and is unaccessible. How can I use this data to find the private keys associated with my addresses and thus accessall my btc?

thanks in advance
