Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet ./btcrecover/test/test-wallets/blockchain-github-v1-1 --dump-privkeys blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt --correct-wallet-password mypassword

Wallet successfully dumped...

I cannot find any file in this case.

Since the indicated value of --dump-privkeys arg isn't an absolute nor relative path,
If not in your BTCRecover nor python install directory, it should be in your working directory named "blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt".
About "working directory", it's the directory displayed in your command line before the ">" sign.

Or alternatively, specify the absolute path of where you want to save the dump file.
e.g.: --dump-privkeys D:/blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt to save it in D: drive's root.

Unable to decrypt wallet, likely due to incorrect password..

I am using the correct password but I am getting this error.

If it's not the password, it may be the payload that you saved as wallet.aes.json file.
The format should look like the test "blockchain-github" wallets in ".\btcrecover\test\test-wallets" (open as text), older versions are different than the latest so check them all if your payload isn't formatted correctly.

It feels like I am back to square one despite being so close to the end now!

Fingers Crossed.
But like I mentioned, his suggestion to dump the wallet's private keys isn't the direct solution to this but an option in case it's the client's issue.

Thanks.

I was actually able to located the dump and private keys file.

Now, upon importing in Electrum, I see there were two transactions made back in 2022.

One was 0.04 BTC in and out quickly and another one for 1.1 BTC in and out quickly.

I don't understand why someone would do this because my account was dormant ever since 2014.

Anyways, I have a suspicion that the private keys file actually don't belong to me and it was installed when I installed Btcrecover, so I am seeing someone else's transactions?

I still believe my .json file is password encrypted which I have yet to decipher.

Your thoughts on what should I do to decipher and try again?

Thanks again.
