Wrong Password #4188

Open victorsk2019 opened 5 years ago

victorsk2019 commented 5 years ago

Currently using Ethereum wallet 0.11.1 Installed it since November 30, 2018 and wallet was backed up then.

When trying to send, it's asking for password. I don't remember setting up password for this wallet. I may have originally installed a version that doesn't ask for a password when creating an account.

Tried any possible password I may have entered but keep getting Wrong Password. I do have a default password I use for desktop wallets, but it's not working either. Seems like a bug.

I was actually able to recover the password using pyethrecover tool. It took me about a week but it finally worked.
