[Serious] Need help to recover potentially thousands of bitcoin

Hi all,

I won't give too many details for obvious reasons. I have in my possession an encrypted hard drive from a relative which has been untouched since 2013. This person invited me to buy some bitcoin in 2011, invested at least 1000€ in bitcoin (possiblity more) and was setting up a business related to bitcoin back in 2013. He then passed away and we now have his hard drives but they're all encrypted. He was very security savvy (his passwords were in his head with a minimum of 25 characters sometimes) so brute forcing is not an option. We asked some very knowledgeable people who said we should give up for the time being because current CPU power would not be able to crack anything in the next coming years (we even talked to companies which only purpose is to have high end CPUs). There is nothing written from his belongings that would point in the direction of a password, but he had a purple usb key which was also a fingerprint reader so I'm guessing he used it for 2FA.

Knowing him very well, he was extremely obsessed with security (he had a dedicated router working as a firewall on top of his router modem at home), so I would expect the worse in this case. The hard drive was an internal hybrid disc from a Sony Vaio.

Did anyone else go through a similar situation? Any creative ideas? Or are we SOL? I was just listening to the reply all podcast and they were talking about a bitcoin hunter so I just thought of asking here for ideas. Thanks

[BTC].

Yesterday, BTC again hit the bottom of the pin, the lowest hit $9900 did not appear a new low, the shock range is gradually narrowing, compared with last week's capital inflows significantly reduced, a number of bottom rebound may be the short-term control of the main forces in the test, may also be the main short-term control to harvest profits.

Technically, the K-line MA10 plays a good supporting role, the main defensive force of the bulls is distributed around $9500 to $10000, the pressure level of $10500 is being strengthened, the bottom price has not yet arrived, and you can wait for the back step to build positions in batches without strong bearish results.

The volatility of the market is gradually shrinking, take the chips in hand, the market is about to choose the direction, there is no large capital inflow in the short term, there is a high probability to continue to trade sideways or fall again.

Remember, don't touch futures for a while, don't panic when you fall, if you can fall, you will rise even more.

The author's point of view: wait and see for the time being, hold it in stock, not afraid of it falling, the more likely it will fall.

The market fluctuates quickly, the article has the nature of timeliness, locality, and the risk can not be reminded in time. Please follow me if you like.
