I have an Android backup that I am sure I am using the right password. I have exported the file, and trying to decrypt it with openssl:

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in ./backup_carteira_2017

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in ./backup_carteira_2017

I fill in the password when prompted and it seems to decrypt as I don't get a "bad decrypt", however the output is not readable at all. Any password different from the right one throws a bad decrypt error.

Am I missing anything here?

The backup has been generated in Jun, 2017, not sure if this matters.

Regards,

Note: Anyone reading https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/.../README.recover.md should probably PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THE FIRST SENTENCE there. If you proceed beyond that, note that the output of the SSL command is not expected to be readable. – RedGrittyBrick May 02 '19 at 14:48
