Hello,

so i have a seed (that is most likely correct) and a passphrase that most likely contains 1 or several typos. The coins are on a non native segwit address (starting with 3). I dont know the xpubkey, but i do know 1 address with coins and it also was one of the first addresses generated. The wallet was created with samourai. The passphrase is rather long, so just bruteforcing would probably not work, the program would have to work with the one provided that contains typo(s).

I am not very technical, so if there is a way to recover this an easy explanation would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I made a blog with some steps that might help you out https://medium.com/@madacol/recovering-bip39-password-with-a-p2sh-p2wpkh-address-by-brute-forcing-e432f8d07fe5

What you need to do on your own is to generate the possible passwords, btcrecover may be able to do it with this typo tutorial, but if you can't you could also use any other tool to generate a list of passwords and use it like I showed in the blog

python2 btcrecover.py --bip39 --tokenlist passwords.txt --addrs 3G2rhsBYmP6RKrjW1kVE1kJB9qjwggaCZw --mnemonic-prompt --addr-limit 1 --bip32-path "m/49'/0'/0'/0"
