I got desperate, I tried all the instructions I could find on the Internet – nothing helps.
What I have:
- wallet.dat from bitcoin-core encrypted from 2015 (in four different
places) - the password I used to encrypt it (I remember that I had to click on
the lock inside the application and enter the password) - the same computer I did it on with windows os
- inside the file the hex editor shows different data (NOT FFFF)
- when trying to restore via pywallet with passphrase – ERROR:root:Couldn’t open
wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again. - when trying to download with loadwallet CLI command in Bitcoin Core – Data is not in recognized format. (code -18)
- downloaded the old version of Bitcoin Core (12) – wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed
- last transaction was at 2018
I need advice – what other options do I have, how can I try to decrypt this file and access it?
Thank you,
Best regards,
Roman
