Password search exhausted for known password

[shreyapz]

Hi,

I am trying to run btcrecover.py to find the password of my bitcoin core wallet which I used for encrypting wallet.dat file. I have already obtained the partial master key, salt, iter count from extract-bitcoincore-mkey.py. The password is something like 'book page name'
I have written exactly the same password in my token.tx but still I am getting below.
P.S- I also had a password of more than 8 words. It didn't work at all.

Your help is really appreciated.

Hi,

I am getting the same 'passoword search exhausted' notification with a known password. Can you please tell me how you resolved this?

[shreyapz]

Password search exhausted comes only when you the program has tried all the possible combinations of the tokens and failed to decrypt the master key.
make sure you are not missing any of the tokens used in the actual password.
if your password has spaces in between the use the wildcard for the spaces.
instructions for how to create a token.txt file is given in detail.

Hi Shreyapz,

Thank you for your reply.

I have ran --listpass and found my password listed on there but when i try to run it against wall.aes.json I get the 'password search exhausted' error.

It's quite frustrating as it is probably something small that I have not adjusted in the settings or something.

Same as above...I installed btcrecover on two separate computers, followed directions to a t, had no errors. Ran a listpass and found my known password, then ran it against my wallet.aes.json and it keeps saying "password search exhausted". Definitely frustrating so if anyone knows what might be the cause please reply.

I am having the same issue. Created a new account on blockchain.com, wrote down the new password, and btcrecover is not working on it.

I have used the --listpass option to make sure my .txt file correct, and I can see when it passes by my new known password, but no dice, still getting "password search exhausted."

@gurnec Hey Chris, I am experiencing the same problem. Today I tested , on a new wallet and in the token file i provided the exact password. --listpass showed the exact password. while i ran btcrecover it came up with "password exhausted".

I have the same problem. Does not find the password that was originally written correctly. The description says that V3 wallet is supported. Brute-force passwords goes, but it doesn't find the right one. How to fix it

[Prumik]

Experiencing same problem here testing btcrecover against my own Bitcoin wallet.dat.
I have a tokens.txt which when tested with command "python btcrecover.py --listpass --tokenlist tokens.txt" does indeed show my password in one of the 15 generated passwords. However, on running it doesn't get found.

Overview:
Wallet: my own personal wallet.dat with know password
BTCrecover: shows my password in list of potential passwords it will try
Command I'm running: python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --tokenlist tokens.txt
Outcome: Password search exhausted
OS: Linux (Ubuntu 19.10)
Python: Python 2.7.17rc1
