Is there a way to determine the number of characters in the wallet password?

I don't know about PBKDF2 implementation on Bitcoin Core, but AFAIK it's impossible. I checked such possibility with PBKDF2 tools online (e.g. https://asecuritysite.com/encryption/PBKDF2z) and i got same length on different password with different length.

Is there a way to determine the number of characters in the wallet password? I haven't used mine since April 2018 and for some reason the password I remember using isn't working. I installed the btcrecovery in python and have tried a few lists of possible variations of my password up to 109k possibilities, but still nada. If I knew how many characters it was, it would help a lot for making my password lists. And ideas? It's very important, of course. I don't think anyone could have messed with it because I had the wallet.dat file backed up in a rar stored away safely. I tried two completely different backups of the wallet file.

If you have lost your wallet password then it's like curtains for your coins. Try to recover with your seed, if you have that with you. Just few small things which we always ignore at the time of installing wallet can save us later from big troubles.

This is a little bit unusual, owning a huge of amount of btc and he forgot password because usually when you own big amount of btc you must have a duplicate of your keys or password. If he just keeps the seed he has a big chance of recovering his wallet. An owner of a wallet should makes other ways to remember it to recover the wallet.

Meanwhile, he is a bounty hunter.

Do you really think that if he is a bounty hunter he needs to post here like this ?! Sad

Add the fact that the account was created in 2018 and the posts were just bounty reports. Another thing to consider is that the password was changed recently.

I tend to agree that the account was stolen and that it's being used to hack someone else thru this "I forgot password...email me"

And he said that this is a wallet from 2014.
Meanwhile, he is a bounty hunter. I don't underestimate the amount of money he earns, but the truth is he can't forget the wallet that he uses regularly.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my thoughts. You could be someone who picked it up somewhere, or somehow you stole it. Just maybe Wink

Anyway, if that's true, I hope you can get your money back soon. Good luck!

Are you able to prove that the wallet is yours? How did you just "forget it"? I would assume most people that are holding a sum that great would not just "forget" their password.

well there is even this certain person that throw away a harddisk containing 7500 BTC and even in this forum alone many people actually encounter the same problem which is forgetting their password from wallet.dat you can try to search it up so yeah, forgetting it is possible and those early birds who hold bitcoin from the time when bitcoin is not popular some of them have this problem.

Anything is possible. Maybe he had that wallet for a long time. It's easy to forget when your coins are worth $500 each but much harder when they're $5000 each. Wink

13 digits? think of how you construct passwords before maybe it's something related to the numbers that you like. And those numbers can be the important dates and events that happened in your lifetime during that year.

How about this service?

I always see them being suggested by reputed people of the forum.

Hello friend , its totally like a hallowen joke for me ,
how u dont even remember a simple password created by you , or maybe if its too difficult to remember, u must be have a secondary option like copy it on somewhere.
for remember , we still can find the wallet.dat by recuva or some apps like that , but if the password, of course i have no idea how to solved it.

Yeah, it is a bit of story made event. Although the price of bitcoin way back 2014 is not high as what its price now, I can't believe that you did not even protect it. The price range of bitcoin in 2014 played at $300 to $400, so if it is 18 btc then it is alteady a lot to consider the password as signicant key for the money. Aside there are options for secondary passwords like mnemonic, set of words and even alphanumerics combination to secured the wallet. If you insist that this happened then I guess no one's going to believe on this.

Your story is really hard to believe. How can you have up to 18 Bitcoin and not remember your password?
I don't have up to that amount but I don't joke with my passwords or the 12 word phrase. And, oh! That reminds me, what about your twelve phrase backup?

Password doesn't even matter that much, your backup phrase is the most important, if you lose your password you can still make use of the 12 phrase to restore your wallet. So if you're saying that you have up to 18 BTC and you don't even have your backup phrase and also forgot your password, nobody is going to believe your story man.

You got me.

I am guilty.

I have all local boards on ignore and then some global forums too. I thought he deleted his posts and the forum haven't updated his post count but I was wrong. I should reward you for catching my mistake. Here...

You're welcome mate, should I drop my BTC address here Grin

anyways since OP is not responding on this thread there's a high possibility that this some kind of attack to lure his/her victims by sending virus through emails so be careful for anyone who tries to contact OP via email.

The same thing happened to one of my friend still he can't recover the password because the password combination 12 characters with number he try all methods which is available options but he can't so if forgotten the password of your wallet.dat it will lose of your bitcoins.
My suggestion to you can try all passwords what you remember and note that in excel sheet and try maybe it will help you.

This happened to my friend too, he has almost 3 BTC way back before when he's still doing mining, but he leaves it in his email and after few years when he discovered that the value of BTC becomes high, he's trying to recover his email, but he already forgot his password on it and he can't find any ways for his email to recover, sad thing but needs to move on.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Quote from: inanilujimi on December 13, 2019, 11:42:05 PM

I doubt that bitcoin is yours, it's a strange thing to forget your password with a sizable amount of money.
It is not logical for me if something trivial like this can happen.

Even if it isn't his you won't crack his password. This is a waste of time. Bitcoin is made in such a way that you can lose your wallet dat. Things like that happen but you have the password to protect you from simple theft like your friend coming in and downloading your wallet onto a thumb drive while you're in the kitchen or something...
He's not going to guess it if it's not his to begin with.

It seems strange if you forget your own password and before creating it, you have to anticipate or find other ways when you forget and you can open it according to your storage in a safe place to view the password that you saved.
and what's even more strange, why don't you think that you have a wallet that is very valuable and related to your assets and you really have to remember it, and that will be your experience because in my opinion there are many ways to store passwords correctly and safely it all depends on you choose and can remember it easily.

It is one of the most important thing that you need to remember so that you wouldn't lost contact with your wallet. If you really give great importance to your money, that large amount wouldn't go out of your hand. Let's just hope they can give assistance on how you can recover or change you password cause that's a very huge money. Be mindful also cause maybe you got hacked and troubled with your wallet cause they are dessiminated all over the place these days so try checking it out too.

You can do nothing but remember the password that you have created. It's our responsibility to be mindful when it comes to handling our personal wallets especially when it contains most of our earnings. No one could help you but yourself. Try to remember your passwords for days. I hope you could still recover your account.

Whenever you install any software wallet make sure your password is working and seed is stored safely. Once you forget your password and you dont have seed with you, your coin will be buried forever on the blockchain. In other words, nothing can be done to recover your money.
