I have a question regarding the second command.
The:
dumpprivkey "YOU_ADDRESS"
where can I find the address I put there? Is it the public address of my wallet?
I do not own the public address anymore, I just have the wallet.dat + passphrase. Will it be enough to enter the "new" pub key to the dumpkey command?

You first need to find out which addresses inside of your wallet contain a balance.
You can check this by entering them in a block explorer (e.g. https://live.blockcypher.com/).
If you don't have a clue, you should either just let it sync or dump the whole wallet using this command:
Code:
dumpwallet "filename"
Then simply import all private keys into electrum.
Hi,
I have tried the dumpwallet "filename" option, receiving the unencrypted file,
put it into electrum and it did not show my balance.
When I checked the backup of the wallet.dat file, I found out that I have somehow changed it in 2017, compromising the one of 2016.
Is there a possibility I still can access my funds or are they lost?
Or was there a mistake in my action trying to dump the file into electrum maybe because the keys are encrypted or something? I did not have to type in the passphrase I entered in 2016.
Help is much appreciated, Im still optimistic to recover the funds
