Unable to restore passwordless wallet #26

Closed bkolobara closed 3 years ago

bkolobara commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I created a backup of my wallet and didn't want to use a password when I created it. But now when I want to restore the wallet I'm unable to do the restore without inputing at least one character for the password.

How can I get my coins back from the wallet?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I will have to check that issue out. Can you please pull the backup file from your phone and try to open it with a text editor? Is it in clear text? If so, I'd recommend importing the printed private keys into a desktop wallet.

bkolobara commented 10 years ago

It is indeed cleartext. I never tried to open it with something else. Maybe you could just disable exporting without password like the importing is done and it would solve the problem. Tnx for the help.

Okay, good to know. I'll keep that here open as a reminder. Thanks!

@btc2dogecom I think the text is just base64 encoded. You can use an online tool like: https://www.base64decode.org/ to decode it. Or maybe a local application so you don't need to send your private key to a random website.

Hi,

Don't know if this thread is still active. I to have old dogecoin-wallet-keys from 2014, that I know I saved without password.

I also did a small test downloading dogecoin wallet 1.02 and just made a backup without setting a password. And if i then try to load this it still requests a password.

So is there any way of getting in to my old wallet ? is there a password set by default by the app if you leave it blank or something ?

NEVER SEND YOUR WALLET TO ANYONE!! I will close this issue as it's leading just to phishing attempts.

The correct solution to this issue: If you didn't use a password you can open just the backup file in a text editor and it will display the keys in plaintext.
