    Tried throwing a password list (or two, or five) at it and seeing if it opens? 6 bitcoins is enough money I’d be trying every password cracking tool in existence. Maybe not enough money to lose sleep over but certainly enough to be worth the effort.

      I’m not sure how to automate such a thing - some python script or something? I am sadly not a hacker, I always wonder how brute-forcing via a random interface actually works…

        There’s already John the Ripper, though I’m not sure how you’d exactly point it at a bitcoin wallet as I’ve never used it before. As a one-off project, you could probably vibe-code something to do it if John the Ripper can’t.
