Features of using BTCRecover

The principle of operation of the BTCRecover program is that it uses a dictionary attack to select various combinations of words and phrases until the correct password is found. The tool is also able to generate its word lists based on patterns in the user’s past passwords or other information that has been provided.

BTCRecover can be used with different wallet file formats. Most often, it is used for:

  • Electrum;
  • MultiBit;
  • Armory;
  • Bitcoin Core.

The tool is compatible with different operating systems Windows, Linux, and macOS. BTCRecover can be launched from the command line. Although this is a powerful tool for recovering a forgotten password, BTCRecover should be used responsibly. The user should take care of the protection of the recovered password, the security of the Bitcoin wallet files, as well as the original recovery data in advance.

How to use the BTCRecover program: a step-by-step guide

To start using the presented program, you need to do a few things:

  • Download Python. Before installing the BTCRecover program, you should first install Python 3.6 or later.
  • Download the BTCRecover program. After installing Python, you can proceed to download the BTCRecover installation package. Extract the file from the archive to a suitable folder on your PC.
  • Create a wallet. After downloading BTCRecover and before running the program, you need to create a wallet file using the Bitcoin Core client. In this case, the wallet file must be encrypted using the created key phrase.
  • Set up the BTCRecover program. To use this tool, you need to create a configuration file. In the latter, you need to specify the parameters of the wallet file that you want to restore. To do this, open the BTCRecover folder and create a new file, calling it config.ini.
  • Run the BTCRecover tool. You need to open a command line window, then open the BTCRecover folder and enter the command “python btcrecover.py”. After that, the program will prompt you to specify the path to the configuration file created in step # 4.
  • Wait for the recovery to complete. Depending on how complex the key phrase you came up with and the length of your word list, recovery may take several hours (if the password is very complex, it may even take several days). After the BTCRecover program has finished working, a message will appear on the screen indicating whether the wallet file has been successfully restored.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that BTCRecover is a powerful program. It should be used with caution by experienced users. Incorrect tool settings can lead to irreversible loss of funds in the wallet.
