Hello all,

I am wondering if it is possible to recover an old wallet from 2011-2013 without the key phrases. I believe I have the backup but I am not entirely sure. The folders/files I have are:

blocks (file folder)
chainstate (file folder)
database (file folder)
testnet3 (file folder)
.lock
banlist.dat
db.txt
debug.txt
fee_estimates.dat
mempool.dat
peers.dat
wallet.dat

I am currently synching Bitcoin Core to maybe help locate the wallet address first.

Not really sure what I am dealing with here so hopefully I can get some insight on this situation.

Thanks in advance! Grin
it is real hard to get back into a wallet
