[Ethereum] How to get a private key of an encoded account which was created with geth

ethergo-ethereumprivate-key

I have next problem:
I have created an account with password via geth. Right now I need to get private keys (or somehow retrieve my eth) without starting a peer-to-peer node. Is it possible to retrieve the private key or send eth to a different address without starting peer-to-peer node and eth? I have keystore with the needed account.

Are you unable to start geth at all for this question? Or do you just not want to sync? If you can start geth, then you can import your keys into MyEtherWallet and send an off-line transaction.

I used this code to recover the private key from account address and password. firstly, install Keythereum:

npm install keythereum

Keythereum is a JavaScript tool to generate, import and export Ethereum keys. read the documentation: GitHub Link

and this is my code:

var keythereum = require("keythereum");
var datadir = "/home/super/.ethereum/rinkeby";
var address= "0xc8096d713000002c77e4eb62f0000ead5f105a7e";
const password = "mypass";

var keyObject = keythereum.importFromFile(address, datadir);
var privateKey = keythereum.recover(password, keyObject);
console.log(privateKey.toString('hex'));
