Recently I came across my old keystore file from the original Ethereum Wallet that I used back in 2017. Unfortunately I cannot find the private key or password for that wallet anymore, big problem of not writing it down on a piece of paper and save that…
The issue is that I am hoping to recover the private key from my keystore file with coding or another way. I have been trying to look it up but couldn't find something useful so far.
Is there anyone who knows a way to recover the private key from your keystore file without the password?
