I forgot my password

Question

I forgot my password and also my private key, but i have my keystore and also the address. Please help me.

You could try bruteforcing the encrypted keystore file to recover your plaintext private key. But that depends on how long/complex your password was — , Aug 03 '17 at 14:13

install ethereum wallet on you'r PC and do this steps To backup your wallet you will need to make a copy of the key file(s) located in your ethereum directory.

Linux: ~/.ethereum/keystore Mac: /Library/Ethereum/keystore Windows: %APPDATA%/Ethereum The file should look something like this:

I don't think this addresses the original question; it does not deal with Parity, restoring existing accounts, or missing passwords for private keys. It is, however, a valid way of locating the keystore for back up purposes (which the OP already has) for geth. – lungj Aug 03 '17 at 13:29
