MetaMask forgotten password!

[marc1n]

So after finding the "metamask2hashcat.py" tool for creating hash file from TestVault file, I copied it into the main directory and attempted to run it.

C:\Hashcat-MetaMask>"C:\MetaMask Vault Decryptor\MetaMask Files\metamask2hashcat.py" --vault TestVault.txt
usage: metamask2hashcat.py [-h] --vault VAULT

metamask2hashcat.py extraction tool

options:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  --vault VAULT  set metamask vault (json) file from path



Harder than I thought, what am I doing wrong here?

metamask2hashcat.py TestVault.txt

To run, file python you must have python installed

Apologies, I was getting mixed up with the data I entered into the file.
Corrected the issue and it now gives the hash data.

Let me continue with testing and will let you know if I hit another road block.


Thanks for all the assistance and patience with my learning process here

Think I came right on the test thanks to the support of "marc1n" 
Can't thank you enough!

Created a new test directory jus to ensure I has the process down for running against my forgotten password data.
Below is output for test wallet with correct password displayed - YAY

The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small.
This means that hashcat cannot use the full parallel power of your device(s).
Unless you supply more work, your cracking speed will drop.

The end result of running against the password file is:
Status...........: Exhausted

So 40000 guesses incorrect,  added a few more and still no luck.

I'll have to wait a few more months or years and perhaps technology will improve to the point where I can regain access to my lost account if I have the original installation.

Wish there was a way to roll back Android MetaMask installation as I had the wallet setup on my old backup phone which was accidentally connected to another wallet.

Seems as though Android support is a dead end when it comes to the MetaMask application.
