recover password #3630

Hey guys,

I've downloaded ETH wallet from the official site in the spring when I started mining.
At some point I wanted to create a backup and if memory serves right, it didn't allow me to export it unless I set a password to it.
Noooow... the problem is that I don't remember the password.
It can be formed from a few bases + a few suffixes.
I've tried a lot of them but none seems to be working.
It's not much what I have there (didn't mine ETH, mined something else and exchanged to ETH).
I can even prove what and when I mined, when and where I made the exchange. So it's my account.
But I can't transfer the funds out of it.
Can anyone help me? There'a a guy that helps people but he said that the 1.1 ETH in my wallet is too little for him to consider trying.
Thank you so much in advance!

Sorry to report that (by design) there's nothing we can do to assist with password recovery. If you're comfortable with code, it may be worth your time to try a brute force password recovery tool like pyethrecover. I have never used it personally, so I can't walk you through that process. As an example, though, here's one comment with details of someone who had success with that route: #3176 (comment). Good luck!
