Hi everyone,

Back in 2019–2020 (Byron era), I created a Daedalus wallet. Unfortunately, over the years I lost both my seed phrase and my spending password.

However, I saved and backed up the entire Daedalus application directory from that time, including:

The secret.key file

acid database files / application state

Full log history and configuration files

Now, 6-7 years later, I’m reaching out to see if the community or developers have built any tools, recovery scripts, or methods to decrypt or extract the private key from a Byron-era secret.key file (or if brute-forcing the spending password via the encrypted file is possible today).

Has anyone successfully recovered funds from a similar legacy file structure, or is there any known open-source tool built by IOG/community devs for this exact scenario?

Note: Please reply in the comments. I will ignore all direct messages (DMs).
