<p>Did you fix the issue with password? If you really dont recall the password, there is no way but bruteforce as stated above by @ava although I can make it super fast.</p>

<p>I created a Multibit wallet back up many years ago and it was saved as multibit.key. 
I am now trying to import this back into MultiBit Classic and it is asking for a password. I have forgotten the password. </p>

<p>Is there anything I can try? Is brute forcing an option? What type of software would I have to use?</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

I created a Multibit wallet back up many years ago and it was saved as multibit.key.
I am now trying to import this back into MultiBit Classic and it is asking for a password. I have forgotten the password.

Is there anything I can try? Is brute forcing an option? What type of software would I have to use?

Cheers
