could someone help me?

About 2months ago i downloaded the cryptonote gui wallet, everything was fine... i then put my xmr wallet in cold storage... however i decided to update my wallet as i wanted to buy more and trade, however once i downloaded the new update my password seems to be changed

i had saved copies of password on offline drives, however as i tried to open my old wallet with the old and correct password it keeps saying invalid password

am i missing something?

i did the same update of quazarcoin with no issues it worked perfectly

thanks for all your help

thanks alot, how do i open the .key files and how to rescan?? is this done in the simple wallet?

i appreciate your help

how do i do this with simplewallet? i have put .keys and address.txt in same folder as simplewallet... the old version of gui wallet that i created password on worked fine but now ive updated it gives me an invalid password... why is this?

i havent changed or misplaced the password... so if i cant access my wallet due to this invalid passwrod error how can i rescan in simple wallet?

i have done that wallet.bin, and that wallet was the only wallet i had in general, and i made sure to have that password saved as i know how important it is, i took all precautions so i dont understand why its still invalid

well ive looked at every previous version of the txt doc i wrote my password on and every version for last two months says the password i type in is correct... exactly the same, so i dont get why

i have been trying to get this sorted as i have nearly 200 xmr and i was saving it in cold storage

You can brute-force or do a dictionary attack on it.
How many characters exactly ? Did you use numbers ? High capital letters ? Special symbols ?

20 characters long? Best way to hack is to ask FBI and NSA politely to give you all their ressources. I'm afraid you lost your coins. ALWAYS write the password on a paper, on a tatoo, on your ass, on your toilet paper, in your car, in the shower, everywhere if you plan to have a lot of money under a passworded wallet.

Nothing worse than loosing your money because you forgot your password.

Sometimes it's more risky to activate security than to take the risk being robbed lol. so be very cautious with crypto and password encrypted wallet : write it down, always.

and make copy of the wallet.dat in 5 usb stick, all your computers, and in all avaible external drives you might have.

Repeat every month.

yeah i know i'm paranoid 

i know all of the password... so it should make it a lot easier no??

there is enough, how much is it? cant i do it my se3lf??

thanks for your help
