GOOD NEWS!!!!

I downloaded 0.9.3c and I was able to import my .json file and I was able to get it, with my normal password no problem. I just need to sync the wallet.

THANK YOU ALL so much for walking me through this.

I am confident I have a good backup of the .json wallet file. What I think I need is my recovery key, just in case, can I get this from my old wallet once I login?

If I do find my recovery key can I use that to recover my account on another computer if need be?

Do you know if the owner_key fond on the file I mentioned earlier is the key I need to recover my account?

Thanks again

Hi  Liondani,

I was in the process of making a second backup of my json file and I ran into an older folder under My Documents/bitshare where I had installed the previous version of Bitshares, I am running it right now and it says at the bottom:  Replaying blockchain ... Approximately 37% complete.

It does not show what version it is, but I did installed it back on Feb 6th 2015

Maybe I would be able to login to this wallet and get my key when it completes replaying the blockchain.

Meanwhile under the /wallet/default of (0.9.2 installed on July 10, 2015) , I found a file called 000197.log (dated 7/24/2015) that shows the name of my account and "owner_key" that starts with 5bts5...... all together there are 54 characters, it is followed by registration_date, last_update and a whole bunch of other stuff,  the whole file is 192k.

Could the owner_key be the recovery key?

BTW I am running the wallet on a Windows 7 computer, no Linux

Liondani I really appreciate you replies.

I just noticed that I may be entering the password correctly, however the wallet (0.9.1) does not give me any indication that I have entered the wrong password, I don't get any error message at all. All it does after I've entered my password is come up with 3 circles that grow from left to right and right to left for about 4 seconds, then I enter another password the three circles appear for a fraction of a second.

Shouldn't I be getting a "wrong password" message or something?

PS: I did find a backup from Sep 1, 2014, named: Bitshare X Wallet Backup.json

Thanks Riverhead and Triglodactyl for your suggestions.

are there instructions on how to go about using a dictionary or a brute force strategy?

Or do you mean to just create my own dictionary and just try it one by one?

I had downloaded Bitshares 0.9.1 back in July. I synced it and it was up to date.

I do have a json backup of my wallet from Frebruary 2015

I bought a new computer and am in the process of downloading  0.9.3c.

I don't remember changing the password on my current wallet, when I try to login with my normal password it is not letting me in.

Is there a way to recover my account with the February json file that I have after installing Bishares 0.9.3c on my new computer?

Is there a limit to the password login attemps one can use?

Thank you,

EDIT: I did find a json backup prior to installing 0.9.1 in July 10th 2015

Thanks Fav, Xeroc and Sudo for your replies,

I ran the wallet_verify_titan_deposit <transaction_id_prefix> and it gave me this:

{
  "from": "btercom",
  "to": "bristolbay",
  "amount": {
    "amount": 544940,
    "asset_id": 0
  },
  "memo": "memo2"
}

but I still don't see it under my recent transactions

The wallet scan progress under info says:
 "wallet_scan_progress": "1.20 %"

Do I need to wait until it's 100% to see my transactions?

I thought I did synced it correctly. How can I make sure?
