We have an in-house tool for that purpose (as long as you remember enough of your password that is). Create a ticket and ask for that, it will be escalated to the right person.

Umm..wait...what? How is this possible on a secure wallet? We definitely need more explanation as to how this works. If YOU GUYS can do it ANYBODY can do it if they figure out how. Can you explain HOW you can do this?

Did you read the details? You have to remember most of your password.

Ok, so it seems like the tool just brute forces the rest of the password from the point you remember on. So, how much of my password do I need to remember for this to work? And, if I remember a good portion of my password, then it's likely a password I've used before and, thus, I'd remember the rest of it probably. So let's say I have a 40 character password. How much of that do I need to remember for this to work?

It depends on the capacity of the computer you have (computing power) but majority of it.

OK, I understand what you're saying. But, here's another question: how, without the private key, do you validate that tool has recreated the correct password? Is this documented anywhere?
