I kept my password and it isn't working, so i may have had caps lock on or modified it for some reason during the process. WOULD LOVE to see the actual instructions that were given back then. If someone has access to it, please message me. thanks. i also made a couple copies of my json so i know it isn't corrupted.

... per the Ethereum devs, the requirements were:
"greater than or equal to 8 chars, at least one of of each: uppercase,lowercase,number,symbol; no inclusion of strings from a dictionary of most frequently used passwords"
Haven't seen that verified anywhere else yet, but no one's refuted it yet either.
Also, not sure if you've seen it yet, but here's a tool that has been extremely helpful for me and others:

Basically let's you do a poor man's brute force. Maybe it'll help.
If you find out anything on your journey that helps you crack your password, definitely appreciate you sharing what you've learned!!
Best of luck,
If any of you have a parentheses in your password, and you can't unlock it, find the command to do a password change. Then it should work."
from the same thread. i believe i have parentheses in mine.

A ton of useful info there, but one thing in particular I'd highlight--he gives a link to the actual pre-sale website. Besides helping to jog your memory, it also lets you see the password requirements: of note, it's a minimum of 10 characters, not 8!
Hope this helps.
can someone let me know if there is another way to check the balance?
it should be 3093.73 ether.

Hi. At once I want to apologize for the English, it is not my native language. Therefore perhaps there are a lot of mistakes in the text.
I ask community to help to understand to me in the circumstances. The person for the help in selection of the forgotten password for the BTC of a purse asked me recently. The purse had balance 100 BTC. I included the program and some time without success tried to find its password. Then to reduce search time I decided to ask for the help more qualified specialists. And readings information in a network I found the DAVE BITCOIN http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/service in a search result
I contacted Dave E-mail: [email protected], is lower a correspondence screen. Where told it a situation. And Dave agreed to help with selection of the password for payment of 20% of the sum. I installed the program which is recommended on the site Dave and which allegedly has to subtract the password from confidential keys after dump. But actually, as it appeared there is something other and Dave receives as a result of decoding not the password the phrase and your private keys. Also can do then with your coins anything and not return them to you.

All archive after dump was sent to pywallet.py 17.02.2016 at 1.01 o'clock local time.
Lower link to archive and screen. It is sent to the address DaveBitcoin [email protected] .com,

After a while 8-10 hours of a coin from a purse were transferred by someone to other address. Here link to transaction: https://blockexplorer.com/tx/d298a4010c034e31290077b332102457ebdd8cbf1d1b22b15404fadf695d0db4
After that Dave didn't contact some hours. But late at night he at last wrote. He writes me, the purse was stolen and other owner, I at Dave had an address E-mail to which contacted the new owner and it type translated coins. It Dave as if has no relation to transaction any more.
It guarded me and I wrote the response letter of Dave where asked to provide correspondence or the Email address new, allegedly the owner of a purse. For clearing of a situation. I didn't receive the answer to this request.
The next morning the owner of a purse who initially asked me for the help contacted, I depicted to it a situation as is. He assured me that he is the real owner but not someone another and asked to return quicker to it it BTC.
Now I have a difficult situation on the one hand the owner of a purse who demands to return its sum. On the other side of Dave which used means but doesn't wish to return necessary part back. How to me to arrive? I have obligations to the owner of a purse, perhaps I should collect the necessary sum. Therefore all possible donations can be directed on the address: 1J7VXXp78o1zuSoxZYr5e9zvdSe9ybspEX
Thanks, I will certainly try to recovery your password for you.
Cheers
Dave
I suggest you all just ignore him. However, if you are interested, the history and background of this 100 BTC wallet is explained near the end of the thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.msg13956227#msg13956227
