two people I know can't access funds from samourai wallet. most likely they don't remember passphrase correctly.
is there a noob friendly way to brute force your way in?
Discussion
I'd say no
Any not so noob friendly ways?
preferably open source
I built a console application for it but that involved writing the seed phrase in the app.
But it took forever.
I tested it with a 4 digit password and that was pretty fast.
But as soon as capital / non capital letters was introduced with numbers and symbols it never finished.
So I don't know, there might be someone else that made an effort for this.
Try hypnosis if the amount locked is meaningful. Obviously, don't let your friend go alone. Good fortune!
