user67530: I imagine someone has answered this already but i cant find it.
i found a file from 2013, which is my only backup i have of some small amount of bitcoins ...bitcoin-wallet-keys and date.
it seems it is encrypted...long string of characters starting with U.
i downloaded a wallet to try and import it but i can't remember the password. i tried everything i could think of and got message that it couldn't decrypt, check password.
is there any way to retrieve the bitcoins?
thx!

user11898: You need the password, otherwise they're gone for good.
