Just found out wallet.dat from 2013, but i dont remember the full password, i tried to bruteforce it with bitrecover, but tried about 100k passwords and it still didnt worked, please help.

1. If you mean btcrecover which created by gurnec[1], it's rather old software. You might want to switch to btcrecover which created by 3rdIteration[2] since it's more up to date and more people is familiar with that.
2. If your computer/laptop have good GPU,  did you try bruteforce by using GPU? I asked this question since brute-forcing with GPU is far faster than using CPU[3].

Do you mean btcrecover rather than bitrecover? I'm not aware of any relevant software by the name of bitrecover.

Your only options are either:
1 - Share with us as much as you can remember about your password and what you have tried so far, and we can try creating a new tokenlist file to widen your search.
2 - Pay for a professional recovery service as bitmover has suggested.

The best solution would be to bruteforce it and get your private keys.  Then just recover in any wallet...


Be careful about anyone who request your file.
by handing over your file in the forum there is a considerable risk of being scammed.

I never used, but this service is very popular, and they might help you:
