Wallet recovery

Bitcoin Core

Recover access to a Bitcoin Core wallet.dat file when the password is forgotten, lost, or partially remembered.

How Bitcoin Core works at a glance

Bitcoin Core is the reference Bitcoin client. Wallets are stored in a local wallet.dat file and protected with strong encryption — the password is the only key. If you still have the wallet.dat and a reasonable idea of what the password could look like, recovery is often feasible.

Situations we commonly help with

If any of these sound like your case, we've handled it before.

01

Forgotten password with some recall

You remember a base word, a length, a date you would have used, or a personal pattern but not the exact string.

02

Old wallet.dat from a backup drive

You have an archival wallet from years ago and need to confirm whether the file is intact and what it might still hold.

03

Corrupted or partially readable wallet.dat

The file no longer opens cleanly in modern Bitcoin Core and you need a forensic look before attempting decryption.

04

Migrated from an old computer

The wallet was last used on hardware you no longer have, and the password rules of that era no longer match how you write passwords today.

Our process

How does it work?

A transparent five-step process so you always know what's happening next.

  1. Step 1

    Case assessment

    Our process begins with a careful evaluation of your case. We gather the essentials — the nature of the issue, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, dates, and any supporting evidence you can share.

    This intake helps us understand the scope of the investigation and decide together whether an investigation makes sense and what shape it would take.

  2. Step 2

    Blockchain analysis

    Using advanced forensic tools, we trace transactions across chains, cluster addresses, and identify exchange touchpoints and intermediaries.

    We work meticulously to surface the insights that can lead to fund recovery or provide actionable evidence for legal action.

  3. Step 3

    Evidence compilation

    Findings are turned into a clear, court-ready report — transaction histories, identified addresses, and the connections that link them to fraud or theft.

    This document serves as a vital resource for legal action, exchange compliance teams, and law enforcement agencies.

  4. Step 4

    Authority coordination

    Where needed, we work alongside legal experts, law enforcement, and exchange compliance teams to act on what the investigation uncovered.

    We provide the documentation and support needed to keep that handoff smooth, and we stay engaged as the case moves.

My case was a bit complicated because it involved multiple transactions. At first, I wasn't sure if anything could be done. The team explained the risks and possible outcomes, which i appreciated. It took longer than expected, but they managed to recover part of my funds and i'm glad.
