Alright so I am getting ready to format my laptop and going through backing everything up and I realize I forgot my password! Oyyy!
It was imported from a private key that I printed from Armory but I deleted that PDF and no longer have access to the private key(fuck!)
I'm trying to systematically go through my passwords and combinations but it drives me INSANE that I cannot hit enter to try a password.
The dialog I am using to test for my password is the remove password dialog. On all of my tries it will say that the error is that it "Could not decrypt bytes"
How ever when trying one of my familiar more secure passwords I get "Provided AES key is wrong."
This is driving me crazy because this is where my ASICMINER dividends get paid out to! As a worst case scenario I do have a bunch of GPUs maybe I can use Hashcat and try to brute force the wallet password, is this possible?
Does this mean that password that yields AES key is wrong is a correct password? or maybe its missing something? If I add a character I get the could not decrypt bytes message.
Any help would be immensely appreciated and will lead to a tip if I can remember or recover my damn password, for now I will quietly weep in a corner.
