very good article.he should write important data in several places
As for the guy and the hard drive I think I'd went ahead and hired the backhoes and people. Pay them with the recovered bitcoin.
Oh my God, I would be whole life remembering this!
That's why I have desktop wallet and store passwords in the special program 
This is a happy story
Tell us to keep the password

Wow! His life will never be the same again
Thanx for sharing , people should be careful with their seed. I have been locked out from a wallet where there were supposedly 50K$ worth of tokens, no password written anywhere. I've spend a sleepless night trying to guess the password. You can imagine my feeling before and after I finally guessed the right password, aver several hours.
good that you managed to remember the password. I bet you felt that you are the happiest man in the world at that time

It is 7.5 million dollars but even then that is very painful, I do not know what I would do if I lost that much money. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/it-worker-throws-out-hard-drive-loses-7-5-million-f2D11669738
Oh man, I can't even imagine what i'd do if that were me! Poor guy, but what was he thinking?!?!?!
Hey,
No problem if you get example Hashcat somewhere work/school/teacher? Dictionary attack is one thing what works, hopefully?
Theres many other machines what can help recover lost password.

Oh my goodness! Use password manager, do not try to memorize passwords!
RIP the dream man

$7.5 million but still damn!
He was saying that just an advertisement for Trezor
This is a very interesting read. How he lost his Trezor seed words and password but ultimately able to recover.
