Lost Dash Password

Hi everybody,

I hope this message finds you well and in better shape than me. :)

The issue I have is that I have a degenerative disease that is affecting my memory and I can't remember my Dash Password. I listened to Tungfa and tried to get Dave from wallet recovery services to help crack it but he didn't succeed unfortunately. I have just over half a masternode in the wallet...

I used to have another password for the wallet. I would like to know, is there a way to use my old backups with the old password to recover my coins? Thanks so much everyone and all the best, cheers.

oh bummer
keepassxc (passwordmanager) is my recomondation for 2018
(same as it was from 2014 onwards)

“old password + old backups”
sure if u have them and they work go for it

u could ping quantumexplorer to see if he can help bruteforce password otherwise
 
Hi Tungfa, thanks for responding so fast! :)

I will definitely write my new passwords down in multiple locations from now on and check out keepassxc. I still have my old backups and the old password but for some reason it says wrong password when I enter it into the core wallet. Someone told me the minute I connect it changes the .dat file and the old password doesn't work anymore. I was wondering why the old password didn't work on the old backups...

So I was wondering if someone could help me figure something out so the old password would work on the old backups... Wow did I ever get unlucky, I was diagnosed two years ago with a degenerative brain disease right after changing my password... I'v been trying to remember it ever since without success...

Btw: Its nice to see your still involved with Dash Tungfa, its nice to talk to a familiar person. And if I can't figure out something with the old backups and password I'll ping quantum explorer, thanks again. :)

sorry to hear man

old backups work with old passwords
wallet.dat files do NOT change passwords - only u can !
maybe spelling mistake ?
@QuantumExplorer u wanna give a hand here ?

yup me still here - same old ;)
 
Hmm Rando, do you think you would have used a password manager or would it have been an easy password like ILOVEDASH456? Basically I know you don't remember, but I need to know what I'm working with here.
 
Hi Quantumexplorer,

I have a bunch of backups and used different passwords in the past. So I don't remember which password I would have used for the individual backups unfortunately. I know what kind of passwords I used but I can't remember exactly which one I used... I know not great...
 
Is there any reason why an old password would not work with an old backup? Thanks!
