Can we assume you already tried both password list[1] and token file[2] feature? Creating token could be tricky so you might want to verify or ask here that you create token with desired combination.

I've seen such software, but AFAIK btcrecover and JTR are best option to brute force Bitcoin Core wallet.

My wallet isn't this one.
I just take these hashes as example.
I find a lot of people who are stuck to this step.
Like the lostwallet project on github.
If you can really help i send you a message on telegram with my adresse.

Where can I get these kind of software?
I will try as you say ... but i think i lost all my btc now ...

I already tried it,but not a success.
I was thinking
since i got the hashes of the password, is there a way to recover it with others software?
Like is there a software made only for bitcoin hashes?
thanks for your time.

after  5 days of download,
i finally get the full blockchain...
and my passphrase is wrong ...
what can i do please?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I ve totally deleted the software and download the blockchain again .... Wait to  see if i was write with the password since it use a character that is not accepted by pywallet, which explain the erros I get.
Thanks for all this help

The debug.log already tells you what you need to do use the -reindex while opening Bitcoin core or edit the Bitcoin core shortcut under target add -reindex then apply and then open the Bitcoin core again it should start with -reindex. Look at the image below as a reference where you can put the -reindex.

Or if your purpose is to recover only your BTC you can just use pywallet to make your wallet.dat into the wallet.text in a readable format and get the private key there and import it to another wallet like Electrum then transfer the BTC. Since you already have the password you can decrypt the wallet.dat use the command below with pywallet.


Make sure you open the command prompt on the same folder where your wallet.dat file is located.

thanks you a lot man.
You help a lot.
I will give you a reward.
And the pywallet you give me works without segmentation fault

I used all the pywallet i found.
But i think I ve got the password to the wallet.dat.
But there is one last problem
I download bitcoin core.
And even though i try everything in my mind
it keeps abort because of some
Original message:
Error opening block database.

Do you want to rebuild the block database now?


I click rebuild.
and everytime it does :
Original message:
Error opening block database


How i solve this problem??? it start to be annoying to go about all this trouble...
But i need my btcs back;

Why not try craking the walllet.dat file instead you can able to use the BTCrecovery tool to find the exact password of your wallet.dat file
You can find the source from this guide below

- https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial

Or try this one below which is a bit newer than the above link

- https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover/

Read the documentation if you have a mining RIG with GPU the GPU acceleration would be awesome to speed up finding your real wallet.dat password.

yep that is exactly what i do not understand
why this software do this bug?? oO
I'm so close to get my btcs back... and there is a new bug.

But nevermind,
I ask on github and open up a new issues hope someone can help.

And last question but maybee the more important
if there s a way to find a private keys from mkeys an c keys because i already tried crackBTCwallet
Thank you a lot.

It means the program is broken and has a bug in it (specifically, it is reading invalid memory addresses).

But usually this message only occurs in C/C++ programs. It never happens in Python programs, unless pywallet is calling some other program inside its code. Or maybe the Python interpreter itself crashed (it is written in C), but that is an extremely rare occurrance.

Thanks for the documentation, i'll read it
@pawgo and i already tried this soft.

I have only the wallet.dat that is the passwords that are lost.

And i try somehting.
With pywallet.py i tried some passphrase but everytime i get this error
Segmentation fault

what that mean please?

If you meant that you only lost your wallet.dat file, then you should still remember the password to it, and therefore can unscramble your mkey and ckeys. Is this not the case?

Reading format documentation https://renenyffenegger.ch/notes/development/Crypto-Currencies/Bitcoin/wallet you will find description:

If you have encrypted wallet, you must first know password to be able to decrypt it.
Or try to break it, for example using https://github.com/albertobsd/crackBTCwallet

Hi everyone.
Hope you doing well.
I 'm here only to ask a question.
Is there a way, from a c key and m key of an adresse to find the private keys?
I lost some btc  because of an accident and I have these information but don't seems to find any thing related to that.
Can someone please explain?
Thanks.
