Got my bitcoins back, thanks everyone!
Would this be using in my file search in windows or bitcoin qt? Doesn't work either way, only wallet.dat file not wallet.txt
in the console, instead of using wallet.txt, use the path. So the command you enter should beCode:
dumpwallet C:\Users\USER\Documents\wallet.txt
Then in the file explorer, you should see wallet.txt in the Documents folder

It says "Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)". And I can't do the open wallet thing mentioned earlier because I don't have a password
That error means that Bitcoin Core cannot create the output file, possibly a permissions problem. Try entering an absolute path likeCode:
C:\Users\USER\Documents\wallet.txt
where USER (not Users) is your username. There should then be a file called wallet.txt in your Documents folder.

Sorry I meant I had one from a while ago. Is there no way to recover the coins? And I never had a password in the first place it is my wallet
As Shorena said earlier, open Bitcoin Core and go to Help > Debug Window. Then click the Console tab and in the box at the bottom typeCode:
dumpwallet wallet.txt

Hello,
I have previously been using bitcoin-qt; however, the other day ago it said no genesis block found and based on online advice I made a note of my private key and deleted it. I tried to import my keys into Electrum but when I go on restore it says I have zero balance. When I use the sweep function it said no input found. Any advice?
Thanks
What are you using do you use mac electrum or windows electrum? If you have a backup like a default_wallet.dat from appdata>electrum>wallets we can analys it...

Now I've got the bitcoins on transactions but it says unconflicted? Do I have to wait for it to sync?
I think it will have to sync first.
No, synced or not does not change anything if OP has no password.
I don't have a passphrase? Are there any other ways to recover the coins?
So its not your wallet? No, you cant recover anything if you dont have the password.

When I try to dump it, it says "Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)"
Did you unlock it?
walletpassphrase yourPASSWORDhere 120
will unlock it for 120 seconds.

Put my what in its place?
your backup wallet.dat
Put my what in its place?
sorry I'm a bit new. How do I open core with the .dat file?
Close core, open the data directory[1], rename the wallet.dat you find there and put your into its place. You will find the .txt file in that directory as well once you exported the keys.
