Need help recovering DiskCryptor password - first time user
#1
Hi everyone,

I am a first-time user and I need some help recovering access to an encrypted partition on my Windows 11 computer.

Here is my situation:
- I encrypted a partition using DiskCryptor 1.3 Beta
- The partition is [internal/external, size if known]
- I have forgotten the password and cannot access the partition
- I do NOT have a backup of the header (if true)
- I am not experienced with hashcat or password recovery tools
- This is my own computer and my own data

I have already downloaded:
- Hashcat 7.1.2
- John the Ripper 1.9.0 Jumbo (Windows 64-bit)


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to recover access to my own files.

Thank you in advance

Extract the hash from the encrypted partition with https://github.com/openwall/john/blob/bl...or2john.py

DiskCryptor-encryption with default settings can be cracked with -m 20011
