Topic: Wallet Password Recovery - new service, official thread (Read 2890 times)

the nowadays bitcoin hash from bitcoin core wallet is:
$bitcoin$[length of last two AES blocks of MasterKey]$[last two AES blocks of MasterKey]$[legth of  the salt]$[the salt]$[noumber of iterations in hash function]$2$00$2$00

Thank you for your reply. The currency is really BTC, our good old grandfather. And according to the hashes, I will say that I observed it myself, in the old versions of extracting hashes like $bitcoin$96$ includes the key-wallet MasterKey. Do you not know this? The private key is really not included in the hash, it is not there and I did not find a hint of it either. (but is it really so) But I think there is some information such as salt or the like. I would like to understand this in detail.

yes, still alive and kicking! you did not mention what kind of wallet it is and what currency?
bitcoin core and BTC? Nowadays it is helpful only to recover the password, no private key can be retrieved from the hash.

Hello everybody! Question to Wallet Password Recovery Is your service still running? I have my old wallet with more than 10 coins. Judging by your approach to work, when you can only send a hash, you can be trusted. What other data can you get from the hash besides the password?

who are you talking about??

well looking in this service it's pretty cool but can't truly ref someone to use the service because it's 50/50. Why if recovered and fails to not notify the rightful user.

I cannot recommend this enough.

I thought my coins were long gone & he got my pass phrase back to me & only took the arranged fee.

1000% recommendation

Thankyou sir

yes, still in the job. A lot of work lately... second year of the bull

Hi there Dave,

I've been trying to contact you about a lost BTC password, just wondering if you're still doing this work?

Thank you appreciate your time

yes, it is. Best option is to fill the form on the web page, then I will send you a lot of questions which will help you to remind the password.

This site still active? Been trying to recover my own wallet without luck so far. I know / remember some / most of it but it is long and complicated and I could be remembering some details wrong of course.

wojciech [at] walletpasswordrecovery.com
or you can use contact form, connection is encpryted by the ssl certificate

Can you give me the correct email? I am seeing wallet password recovery website and wallet recovery services. Which one is the correct site and email?

latest file and the password you belive/are sure is correct

Hey, ok I can send that via email. Your talking about the first wallet.dat file that I saved and stored away after I created my password for the first time correct?

hi,
in order to dump private keys I need the wallet file. Then I have to spend some time adjusting scripts to extract them in proper way.

Hey buddy, So I am ready to hand things over to you and give you a try. What exactly do you need me to send to you in the email?

yes, I can work on that.
hi, I was able to dump private keys from pivix wallet using mentioned pywallet. There is a problem in importing them to new wallet. Yes pywallet needs modification to dump it in demanded format, originally is designed for bitcoin not pivx.
It needs investigation, some programming... hours of work
If you decide yes, please use my contact form on the web, fees apply.

This last step, 'Knowing the password you may try to extract the private keys from your old wallet and if success import into fresh new wallet'

I am not how to extract the private keys from my old wallet. I have a small update from pivx. This is what I was told.

"Hey, I'm really sorry to say that I've tried a handful of things and I can't compile a version of the wallet that will decrypt even when it thinks the password is bad". I believe this (which wagerr is a fork of PIVX) probably happened to you: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wagerr/comments/85iotn/wagerr_mainnet_wallet_password_not_working_but_it/ I have reached out to them, but they never provided PIVX with the corrupts wallet and I can't figure out what changes they made to pywallet to get it to work... here (https://github.com/wagerr/wagerr/issues/36?ref=tokendaily) they state that they are planning to create a website to walk through the steps but I can't find that site either so I assume they never got around to it

https://www.reddit.com/r/Wagerr/comments/85iotn/wagerr_mainnet_wallet_password_not_working_but_it/

https://github.com/wagerr/wagerr/issues/36?ref=tokendaily)

Now that some progress is being made, you think you can be any help to me?

well, so if you have reinstalled the client, the support have done the same and the problem persist, I would ruled out the problem with the client.
I would look for a problem with wallet file. You turned off the computer while closing the client. The wallet file might not be closed properly.
Knowing the password you may try to extract the private keys from your old wallet and if success import into fresh new wallet

Hey man thanks for the reply.

Yes I have done all you have mentioned. I tried all those options, pivx support tried all those options for me. I installed the pivx wallet on my laptop with pivx support and did the same step you took with no luck. Someone told me who is great with all of this stuff . "something corrupted causing the code not to function correctly. And that is has to do with the pivx wallet and that they cant help because the pivx wallet is private with no open source. And only pivx can identify the problem.

You think this is true? At this point it sounds like I tried all the available options and I am out of luck. What you think?

OK. I see:
'I believe the file became corrupt (but this doesn't explain why you weren't able to use a backup...) and need to essentially decrypt the file even though the check will say it failed'

I agree. Did you use Tools-> Wallet Repair ?? I assume yes.
perhaps try this first:
1. Save your curren wallet.dat file in safe place, do the same with your backup wallet.dat file
2. Uninstall privx core, restart, install once again with freshly downloaded client. If you have another computer you can try to install the client on the another machine.
3. Go to the pivox core directory and replace newly generated wallet.dat file with your old wallet.dat file
3a. If you still cant access the coins do: Tools-> Wallet Repair
4. The same as in 3 but with your backup wallet.dat file
4a....

The new wallet 3.1.0.2 Windows. It's on the pivx website, just after scrolling down.

Well I encrypted the wallet myself, yes. I saved a backup wallet.dat file. I used the pass phrase to unlock a few times before I started my staking. After 8 days I had to do some cpu updates, so when I went to close my pivx wallet before the cpu restart, it took a lot longer to close down and I got the (this program is not responding) message, then eventfully closed after about 5-10 mins. After the cpu restart, the pivx wallet is now telling me my passphrase is incorrect when I am sure it's the correct password. After talking to pivx support, and them having me try many different methods, and using all my wallet.dat back up files, it still says my pass phrase is incorrect. So the other day, this is what they told me :

'I believe the file became corrupt (but this doesn't explain why you weren't able to use a backup...) and need to essentially decrypt the file even though the check will say it failed'

So I am no expert with cpu's and etc, so not sure what that means which brings me to here.

I have never extract a hash before. I will go to your page and see the steps needed. I will just wait for your reply here about what pivx support told me and if that is something that you think can be fixed, because myself and pivx support doesn't even think it's a in correct pass phrase, but a corrupt file. Like I said, I think the pass phrase I have is indeed %100 the correct one. needless to say I am confused and baffled as to why this happened, not sure if it's the cpu windows updates I did when my pivx wallet was running.

I will await your reply before trying to extract the hash.

what pivx core wallet version have you installed, which Operating System?
please provide link to your pivx core client

what encryption are you talking about? have you encrypted the wallet.dat file by yourself? what software, algorithm have you used?

I have installed windows 64bit version and I do not see any other encryption expect that one in the client (Settings->Encrypt Wallet...)
You can extract the hash from the wallet.dat file (pivx core directory), I have described it on my faq page, just replace the word bitoin with pivx.
Hash is needed for me to try possibilities for password recovery.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I just have more thing, I have talked to pivx support and they said it might not even be the password but that I need to essentially decrypt the file even though the check will say it failed. All my backup files are accepting the passphrase as well and like I said I do think the pass phrase is correct as I only started to use that pass phrase just 3 weeks ago, my memory isn't that bad lol.
 
So the question is it possible for you to  decrypt the file?

Thanks. Just wanted to give that last piece of information before we go forward.

hi,
Technically yes.
I have just installed the client, set up the password, check if is working and extracted the hash - bitcoin core style. I was able to recover it with my standard tools just like bitcoin core passwords.

It all depends what do you remember about the password...  If you remember something I might be able to help you. Please fill the form on my webpage.

if you want to extract the hash just follow the steps just like for bitcoin core wallet:
https://walletpasswordrecovery.com/faq/

Hello,

I have been doing research on your service and you seem %100 legit. I have a problem myself and wonder if you can help. If you reply yes I will follow up with the necessary steps.

It's a pivx wallet, and I sent some pivx there 2 weeks ago, used my passphrase successful and started to stake. I had to do a cpu update last week, and after cpu restart I tried to unlock my wallet and was getting incorrect pass phrase when I am sure it's the correct password. I tried other passwords with slight changes but nothing. I am pretty sure it's the correct passphrase. Not sure if a cpu update had anything to do with it. At this point I am out of options really. Any chance you can help? It's a decent amount of pivx

no, you do not have to. You can extract the password hash and send the hash only. I described it here:
https://walletpasswordrecovery.com/faq/
what kind of wallet it is? if it is bitcoin core?

Hello.
I apologize for poor English. the translator does not always work well

the bitcoin recovery is based on a large purchase. it is necessary to send a wallet file?
I have almost 10 btc. lost password (I forgot).
It's hard to trust someone on the internet. How can I be sure that my btc will come back? ssl security is on 10,000 usd? is it a guarantee that someone will return the money?
For me, it is a much larger amount ..

This kind of service really requires a lot of trust, otherwise customer hardly will send a 100btc wallet to anyone for recovering the password.

Okay, Let's say That, OP is Really a Trusted Person, But, can You Please Insert A Photo Showing That your Password Has Been Recovered by That site or By That Guy You Mentioned. Trust is always The Basis of having Conversations of Two Persons Regarding to What The Business or Problem is, Since OP  Haven't earned Positive Rep yet, maybe The IDEA of Showing Proofs, Like Images can Recommend Mr.OP of His Service.

hi,
just replied, I have been busy lately, have a look at email

Sent an email a couple days ago waiting for reply to send keystore file.

responded and working on it, trillions of combinations... my GPUs are trying hard

Sent info and an email 2 days ago...please respond

ok sent info...lets see

hello,
I have 5 exact messages from contact form, I guess it works ;-)
Already have answered to your email.

unable to use your Contact form, can you PM me your email address? I have a password to recover on bitcoin core

I.m just happy they helped me out 

No it wouldn't be possible to take effect giving your positive trust to the person you wanted if you are a newbie. Since you are at a lower position right now, only those higher rank position could do giving positive trust like hero member and legendary. You can send private message or posting in the thread about the good feedback of their services; and I know they're prompt of wallet password recovery service recovery.

I am not sure if it is possible to give a positive trust point as newbie, but if you are able to do so, just do it. I am sure this will help OP and his service

Hi i,m Lloyd from the Netherlands a small country also known as Holland. my topic is about the guys from WalletPasswordRecovery.com.
i had recently lost my passcode on my digibyte wallet i was very desperate because it was a very long password,so searching the internet
for a solution i came across this forum where i saw there was a wallet recovery services.
i thouhgt what the heck (hack) i might as well give it a try, i made contact throuhg the contact form  on the website and got in touch with this wonderfull guy named Wojciech
and he told me he would help me out so i send him my wallet.dat file with all the funding details.
after a few corresponding sessions up and down he finally told me he recovered the wallet passcode, after deducting 15% which is in my opinion a very reasonable price
he returned the rest of my fundings.
so you guys out there whenever you lose your passcode and mine was a 20 character passcode just go to

WALLETPASSWORDRECOVERY.COM


These guys are the best and Wojciech once more i,m very grateful for youre services
regards Lloyd

hi,
now when you use my recovery service you have $10,000 warranty to further protect customer purchases, guaranteed by Comodo!

I have just installed commercial SSL certificate - the traffic is redirected from http to secure https. A little more to gain trust 

If you don't know how to recover your password, what's the point of your balance?  
I think this can be useful, but op must build trust first.

This is awesome, and your response to me was about what I was expecting. I hope this goes well for you, as you do appear to know how it all works, .

hi ETFbitcoin
ad 1) I am experienced with bitcoin core, and similiar ltc, dash, doge... others not yet, I know there are ways of extracting the hash, keys from other kinds of wallets I will study particular wallet when I have the chance to help sombody
ad 2) my fee would be something little more than a transaction fee I can do it for free for you. Donations are also welcomed. Just take some time to read the faq on my webpage and please send all the information you remember about the passwords by the email or contact form. In order not to trash to much this thread all the details we will discuss on email and here you can public your honest opinion after all.

This is my part time job so mind the fact I can reply in some hours or the next day(s) specialy if I do not get the reward.

It sounds pretty cool what you are doing It's a good idea to help people out with that. Good luck with your service and I hope I don't have to use it

Your sites looks good to me. Looks clean and well done. Good job.

Hi Emerge,
We can try to recover them if you know something about the passwords.

Hi ranlo,
last password I have managed to recover was 49 chars, upper and lower characters, digits and symbols. The most important thing is what do you remember or about the password. If it is longer than 9 chars and you know nothing about it... it becomes potentially unbreakable. I do not want to be rude but you can read about this in this forum in many threads  so you are probably just checking if I know the job 
You need to be a good "password detective" to drain as much information about the password and then design appropriate narrowed dictionary to check... hours of work... stolen from your family/social life and sleep
cheers

That's great of you to offer this service, hope you build your service from trust and high quality service..
Good luck, I have a few lost wallets myself lol

is good service, i think much  people case problem about forgot password
but what is secure account
if you know password, and user login, you can login and send out balance client

How hard of passwords are you able to obtain? Just dictionary ones or more detailed, longer ones as well? Smart users wouldn't be using short and/or dictionary passwords with their wallets is why I ask.

I understand the caution in providing someone your wallet's hash / base64, let alone sending the actual files.

However Wojciech ticks all the boxes. He has just helped me out over the better part of two weeks to recover a incorrectly saved key.

He was very patient and explained everything well, helped with guide / walkthroughs to obtain the hashes rather than insisting on sending the .dat file.

Then after 30+ emails back n forth walletpasswordrecovery.com got the job done !

I was extremely wary with this whole process, but all i can do is put my double thumbs up.

It is a trust thing, now while im just an empty profile on a internet forum, thats kinda how this whole scene works.

Wojciech is out to further his knowledge and make a little for his time and effort, but most importantly he is genuinely out to support the scene.

I would happily verify and give a personal reference by email or skype, anything to help build up his websites trust base.
(contact wojciech for my details if you wish, rather then put them in open public forum)

One relieved, and extremely happy customer !!! AAAA+++++

Thanks for your advice, I will study how to probably buy SSL certificate and install on the website.

Service like this is obviously need a lot trust, you should build your trust, a lot. Really, I personally and everyone will not easily give a private key to other, even if that's my friend.
Then since your account here newbie it's hard to gain trust too and for make sure secure, you should use SSL for your site.

Hi
I had previously problems accessing my personal wallet, and studied a lot this and other forums, finally succeed  then decided to serve the community:
http://walletpasswordrecovery.com
I know website looks crappy but I am not currently good webmaster 

My fee is 15% for the service.
Tools I use for password recovery: btcrecover, hashcat, john and one commercial software, I can check ~15 000 passwords/sec on my 2x AMD R9 280x GPUs. But the speed is less important than the knowledge of the password and setting up appropriate dictionaries, rules and masks for the lost password.

I have one happy customer  with recovered password and waiting to finalise the deal.

The purpose of this thread is to give more creditability to me and the service. I also offer some advice free of charge if somebody tries to guess the password by himself.

I know there is Dave on this forum with his recovery services and greater experience but I am sure that a healthy competition will serve the Bitcoin community better 
regards
Wojciech from walletpasswordrecovery.com
