Recover a Bitcoin Core wallet password.
Forgot the passphrase to an encrypted wallet.dat file? We can test likely passwords without sending the full wallet to the machines doing the search.
You still have the wallet file, but Bitcoin Core will not unlock it because the passphrase is missing or no longer works.
- ▸The original wallet.dat file or a reliable copy
- ▸Anything you remember about the passphrase
- ▸A brief explanation of where the wallet came from
Bitcoin Core wallet files come in different versions and storage formats. We inspect the file first and confirm that it is encrypted, readable, and suitable for our recovery process.
Operators test candidates against a safe test piece. A machine owner may see a password that machine finds, but the work package does not include the full wallet, spending keys, direct identity or contact fields, complete address lists, balances, or transaction history. Wallet-specific metadata can vary: an older Electrum BIE1 safe piece may expose a prefix of the first wallet address, while a MultiBit Classic .key piece reveals a bounded, non-spendable WIF prefix after a match. The password alone cannot move funds without the wallet it unlocks.
15% after a funded recovery settles. Nothing if recovery does not complete.
