Gave the whole wallet/btc quest a rest for a few months. Its back on the news again here in Australia so which is annoying.
Found this post the other day which describes the process I used to generate the wallet. Definitley skipped a "randomness generator" but no recollection of using a / then password. No mention of 7 words either (which may have just been the minimum in the guide I was following).
My guess is the bitcoinbrainwallet website that was shutdown may have been used.
