Title: Possible to retrieve password?
Post by: indignado on March 15, 2012, 11:37 pm
Hello, I'm a new user to SR and according to the guidelines made myself a ridiculously complicated password including letters, numbers, symbols etc. Unfortunately I made it so complicated that I can't even remember what it was (even though I made the password literally a few hours ago!) and I made a paper copy of the password which is somehow incorrect. I know plenty of information about the account - when it was created, what the password is vaguely like, how many bitcoins the account contains and exactly when said bitcoins were deposited. Does anyone know if there's any way to retrieve this account? It contains roughly 20 bitcoins which is a lot of money for a poor student such as myself. If not, are there any website admins I can contact?

You can try sending a PM to Dread Pirate Roberts. He's the admin. Unfortunately, SR doesn't have a password recovery system. Es por eso que estás indignado, che?

For future reference, here's some password tips: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=15363.0

I sat in front of my computer for about half an hour trying multiple variations. I essentially knew what the password was the whole time, but a few characters were wrong. I sat and memorised it repeatedly afterwards so it's definitely not happening again ;)

Good idea, I'll keep it in mind. I reckon I can remember it this time though, but then again, that's what I thought last time, and look what happened :P
