Thank you, python works following your steps and the pywallet.py runs too. I have last 2 questions about the script. This is what I did so far:
Is it working properly?
Yes, it's working.
The "
help" result is displayed since you don't added any command-line options.
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=D: --recov_size=50Gio --recov_outputdir=C:\pywallet_recov_dir
I copy paste this whole line after changing the info with mines or do i need first to run --recover then --recover device=D etc?
--recover size=50Gio
This is the size of the D device? So in your case it was a 50gb hard drive? The size of the btc hd is 153gb so should I put --recov_size=153Gio ?
Those command-line options should be supplied together or pywallet.py --recover wont proceed (
it will tell you what parameter is missing).
And yes, the "
recov_size" is the size that you want pywallet to check, it can be lower than the disk's size but checking the disk's full size is recommended.
For the "
recov_device" letter, it should be the same as the (
clone) Disk's drive letter as seen in your File Explorer or Disk Management.
"
recov_outputdir" is where the recovered_wallet.dat will be saved.
After successfully entering a proper command, it will ask you to provide password for the wallet.dat that it will create where the recovered keys will be saved.
Then a bunch of possible passwords of the deleted keys or wallets (one line [password->enter] per password, leave the last one blank [just press enter] to begin the search).
note: characters wont be displayed while you're typing the passwords.
Thank you for your help and in general thank you to all who tried to help me on this quest. I did the research but 0 wallets or keys were found. Unlucky.
In order to put the final nail on the coffin and let this whole reseach go, is there any way for me to see the history of installed software in windows?
I would like to have the confirmation this is the computer i remember using. Or if there's any new file that the bitcoin client creates or overwritten file. Some trace left even after the unistall of the client?
