Put the hard drive in the microwave for three minutes. This will reset the password to admin01

Dress, eat, drink, do what you did in 2010. Live the character. Listen to the music you did. Smell the smells you smelled. The password will come back to you.

You have memory of a yellowish piece of papers with scotch tape on it. The info is there.

were there any passwort requirements for the wallet? minimum length, signs, uppercase letter?

get sofisticated software, add pw requirements and brute force it. check power consumption, calculate your costs and duration to hack the pw.

Genuinely good advice, I'll actually try this.
The me from NEET days is STILL in there somewhere, I just need to remind him of who he is.

I'll start by using the same reaction images I used to.

Don't forget trying to capitalize P and substituting !@# for 123 if you were trying to be secure.

Relax and think back to when you made it. Like what this Anon >>17908563 said. It'll come back to you in time until then you still have it.

>> No.17909026

Do you have the computer you were using at the time or a backup? Look for a textfile, something like bitcoin_pswd.txt or something

FUCK.
NEVER MIND GUYS. I CHECKED THE WALLET ADDRESS OUT AND IT ONLY HAS 2 COINS. STILL A NICE CHUNK, BUT MY DUMB ASS BOUGHT WEED WITH IT AT SOME POINT LONG AGO.

I'LL STILL TRY TO REMEMBER THE PASSWORD BUT MY MOTIVATION HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY CUT.

Make multiple backups of the wallet.
Try using various password crackers to brute force the wallet.
There are actually companies that help people crack password protected files where they have forgotten the password. It'll cost you maybe a few thousand dollars.
