If you have .json file there is always a chance to recover access to your wallet. You should prepare some list with password guesses/hints and try all combinations. There are several ways how to deal with it, you can try to crack the password by brute forcing it using btcrecover or hashcat. The most important thing is that you have json file

Wait... What?
I remember a big part of the password.


If you remember most of your password, maybe you could do some trial and error? I don't think blockchain has a mechanism to suspend someone's account upon multiple wrong password entered. Is it? So, it'll be alright if you keep trying and -hopefully- find a correct one.
I think that's the best way you can do.

Maybe next time you would prefer other wallet?
Xapo is quite good, I think.
It has double verification method and it has an option to recover password

Still, how did he managed to forget his password with 100 euros in it Huh
If i was him i would remember that password and pin it onto my brain Cheesy
Oh well, if he can't recover that fund it mean that another Bitcoin is lost forever Sad

If you don't remember mnemonics then i must say , forget about the Bitcoins that you have in your wallet , it is very much crucial to note down the string of codes that blockchain.info gives at the time of registration.

I have already downloaded my bitcoin wallet backup to Google drive. And I know it is easy to recover wallet there. I think he also have recovered his account now as there is no update from him here.

An easy way to recover your wallet if you have the backup is to click on the Import Wallet button on the right side of the page. Then follow the instructions and it will make a new wallet account using the data from your old wallet.

Are you sure about that they NOT save your password?

I lost my identifier a while ago and email about them how i could find it back they reply was this:

We can try to find back your identifier by your PASSWORD or your email!

Really? That sounds to me like a fishing attempt. Beware of these mails as they may look like they have come from original source but they are not and never give away your wallet password to anyone. They can recover your identifier with your email but you don't need to ask them to recover as the verification mail you receive from them already has the identifier in it.

Afaik they don't store your password and they make that very clear when you sign up, read this if you're not sure.

The only way to know a forgotten password is with your Mnemonic Phrase which is presented to you when you make the wallet and which is why they ask you to keep it safe.

But all the above being said, online wallets still are not safe and if can they should be avoided, desktop wallets are still more safer than them.

A longshot but if you accessed your wallet in Firefox browser you can recover the passwords from the menus.

Hey guys!
I have lost my password and need help to get it back.

Best Regards!

you can't get back your account if you forget your blockchain password
this is warning from blockchain

Don't Forget Your Password!
WARNING: Forgotten passwords are UNRECOVERABLE and will results in LOSS of ALL of your bitcoins!


This is correct. Blockchain.info does not stores users passwords on their side and which is why they can't recover it, even they can't access the funds and if you can't remember it the funds will stay there forever. Don't tell anyone any part of your password in hope that they will be able to recover it, they won't and even if they do they won't give you anything.

Did you take any backups of your blockchain wallet? If so you can import it's keys to another wallet and get hold of your funds.

Blockchain.info is not like any other web wallet..You can't just recover forgotten password by entering email..There is only one way to revover the password if you still have that mnemonic code which you got when you registered your wallet...If you don't have that then i am afraid you can't login again

I dont know if i´m to tired or if i cant understand this or if it isn´t working no moore, thank you, will try again tomorrow.....If someone will help i will help you.

I think the problem might be that when you take a backup of you wallet from blockchain info they encrypt it with the same password (unless you exported it unencrypted) and which is why you're not able to decrypt it. Even if you make a new wallet at blockchain.info it would have to be with the same password or else it won't be imported. And since you used the Dropbox version I am assuming it will be encrypted, sorry but unless you can think of that password, you're not getting your funds.

I dont really know if the memonic i have is to my old wallet (i think so) but i have my wallet JSOn file on dropbox.
Will that help me? if so, how do i do?

Thank you for your answers!

If you have "wallet.aes.json" then it contains the keys to your wallet addresses. Here's a guide https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-offline-access-to-blockchain-wallet-exporting-keys-594570 on how to decrypt the json file and  once you have the keys you can either import them into Electrum or make a new blockchain wallet and import them there. There's a decryption tool at the last post of that thread.

The wallet json will be very useful. It is a backup of your wallet. Although if it is encrypted, your screwed.

Create a new blockchain.info wallet account. You aren't getting your old one back. The go to the import/export tab. Click "I Understand" then go to import wallet. Copy and paste the json text into the box and click Import Wallet. You should now be able to spend the Bitcoin from that wallet in this new account.

When you created the blockchain.info wallet, you should have gotten a mnemonic and written it down. If you still have it, then go to their website and when you get to the login page, click on the "recover wallet" button on the right side. Then enter the mnemonic in the box for it and it will decrypt your password and give it to you in plain text.
