Ethereum Wallet Password Reset?

Hi

I have some ETH in my wallet (MIST) and planned to upload them for trading to some exchange. When I tried to send, it asked me a password which I don't remember using while setting up any. Even then I used the most possible passwords which I usually use while signing up but none of them work. I have the keystore file (the one that starts with UTC), but still not able to retrieve my password.

Any help?

Someone I know had the same issue and used pyetrecover; https://github.com/burjorjee/pyethrecover

From here
https://github.com/ethereum/mist/issues/256

Each account in Mist may have a different unique password depending where the account was from originally, ex. if it's imported from different jason files or from presale account. The original Mist account that you also create for the first time has its own password that you first used to create it. This may be obvious to some, but could also be the cause here. The accounts that you subsequently create in Mist (not imported) have the same password as the first Mist account you created.

And possible solution
https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/...on-v3-json-transfor-v3-json-to-v1/12249#12249

they both involve some coding in python and i am not even aware of abc of the language

So basically I am not yet able to figure out a way to do it. If anyone can help, I am willing to offer some $50 in ETH to recover this for me. I have tried all the passwords I could think of for this.

There is secondary password i think it's called private key. If you have that you're set , you can change your own password.
