Small update. I was able to find the first password and with BTCRECOVER I dumped the wallet info. In the file there are some informations such as




 "addr": "",
            "priv": "",
            "privkey_compressed": "",
            "privkey_uncompressed": ""
        }


The address doesn't have any Bitcoin on it. Is that my old wallet? If so, there's no point on recovering the second password, right?

Thank you
Take the extracted keys and import them into a bitcoin wallet like Electrum or bluewallet, you can sweep the balance of these private keys directly if you find it necessary.

Whether the private key is in compressed format (starting with L or K) or uncompressed (starting with 5), these softwares will detect and import/sweep the balance into a new wallet.

In the case of import, the wallet will import the private key, but you must transfer it to a new wallet and you can create a new wallet in the mentioned softwares.
