Forgot My Wallet Passphrase

At this point it seems all you can do is go away and read about encryption, dash security and best practices for keeping your passphrase safe. This lesson has cost you 12 dash so make the most of the learning opportunity and be thankful that it didn't cost you a lot more.
Sorry for your loss man. I am in the same boat and will lose 115 dash and that = $20,000 @ this moment.
 
"be your own bank"
is a great keyword - but it brings the responsibility of being that "own bank"
you are in cgharge of your encryption keys / passwords,... and the likes
i am sorry to hear that dave can not help you

Safety one on one
- use a password manager !! KeePassX (OpenSource and highly recommended)
- use a VPN (safety first)
- secure your wallet.dat files and password manager file on MULTIPLE devices
- use a Hardware Wallet

Hi,

I recovered last week a wallet.dat file for a guy. In 2013 he buy's 6 bitcoins.
A friend told him to change his password phrase. In 2018 he want to sell it, he didn't knows it anymore.
So, he give the wallet.dat file to me, told me, if I recover it, 1 Bitcoin is for me.
Last week I recovered it, with a little bit help from him, he give me some keywords what maybe is used.

takes me 5 day's, then I recovered the password.
So, it's possible if you know some of the words that is being used.
