So anyone able to help me figure this out its on an old legacy wallet from a wallet.dat file of mine and I did encrypt it but can most likely hash the password I put I have a good idea on what it may be but if you know how I can bypass this I will give whoever 10k reward its been so long since i messed with this stuff an I was way smater back then.

Do you remember anything about the password that was used? Length, special symbols, randomly generated or not, etc.
I successfully recovered an old wallet of mine using hashcat, but it does have a bit of a learning curve and needs a good GPU setup.
