lf your password is truly a simple numeric 6 digits and you are sure about that it should be a somewhat easy hack. There are several threads running around here that should give you what you need. Manually searching through 6 digit numeric password combinations could take awhile, but using a computer paradigm knowing you are only looking for 6 numeric digits would only take a few minutes to run to completion. The math on 6 numeric digits is small and an easy computer task to resolve.

First post here so hope its in the right place.
I have an old phone with some btc on it. I no longer have the passcode or seed. The passcode is a simpe 6 digit number. I have tried for days to guess what it might have been but i cannot. I managed to get the wallet data file off. I have been told that if the kdf is extracted from this its easy enough to get my password back.
A bit out of my depth here im into plants and herbs not computer jargon.
Happy to pay for help or a walk through. There are over 0.4 btc in the wallet. Which is a lot of money.
Thank you
:-)
Since you have wallet.dat file there is chance to get your password/seed using recovery tool.If file is not broken/corrupted in some way 6 digit number should not be hard to recover these days.So you need to download recovery tool : https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover
Since you have wallet from you phone try to do what is described here : https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial

Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry Spending PINs
Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry has a spending PIN feature which can optionally be enabled. If you lose your spending PIN, you can use btcrecover to try to recover it.
Open the Bitcoin Wallet app, press the menu button, and choose Safety.
Choose Back up wallet.
Type in a password to protect your wallet backup file, and press OK. You'll need to remember this password for later.
Press the Archive button in the lower-right corner.
Select a method of sharing the wallet backup file with your PC, for example you might choose Gmail or perhaps Drive.
This wallet backup file, once saved to your PC, can be used just like any other wallet file in btcrecover with one important exception: when you run btcrecover, you must add the --android-pin option. When you do, btcrecover will ask you for your backup password (from step 3), and then it will try to recover the spending PIN.
Because PINs usually just contain digits, your token file will usually just contain something like this (for PINs of up to 6 digits for example): %1,6d. (See the section on Wildcards for more details.)
Note that if you don't include the --android-pin option, btcrecover will try to recover the backup password instead.

Just be patient and without a rush,also make a another copy of your wallet.dat file just in case.
