# Restore old multibit wallet

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-22)

I just found an old backup of a bitcoin wallet on a USB stick containing 4 folders:

* key-backup - empty
* rolling-backup - contains a .wallet file stamped with a date from 2014
* wallet-backup - empty
* wallet-unenc-backup contains a .info file and a .wallet file

The info file includes this

> multiBit.info,1
>
> walletVersion,2
>
> property,walletDescription,Your%20wallet%20description
>
> property,walletBackupFile, \*path to the .wallet file\*

Is it possible to recover this wallet? I've tried downloading multibit, but the new version needs a phrase (which i don't have) and one of the older versions needs a .key file

I run a service to crack wallet files and, yes, it is possible to recover funds from MultiBit wallet files.

Usually users password-protect their MultiBit wallet files and if this is the case and you have no idea what the password is, then typically the effort brute-force is too high.

> **Is it possible to recover this wallet?**

It is probably not feasible if you have no clues to the wallet password.

Multibit classic was superceded by Multibit HD which became defunct a few years ago. There is no support or official documentation available. Not that you would necessarily need it.

The Internet Archive has copies of the old Multibit website, for example

<https://web.archive.org/web/20150423050359/https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_lostOrForgottenPassword.html> says
