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.

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 Smiley

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.

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.

This is a very interesting read. How he lost his Trezor seed words and password but ultimately able to recover.
