how decrypt password from SecureCRT Session ini file - encryption

Question

Although official said it can't Recover Password from .ini file, some Chinese guy said it could. But I can't make it work.
7.X, remove the first "u" in the head of password:
# python3 SecureCRTCipher.py dec hash
8.X, remove the three character such as "02:" at the begin of password:
# python3 SecureCRTCipher.py dec -v2 hash
suitable for lower than 7.X
#python3 SecureCRT-decryptpass.py 127.0.0.1.ini
They also said Error: Failed to decrypt. for me.

Answer 1

I also encountered the same error and eventually found out that the pycryptodome version was not compatible, I installed the latest version and replaced it with 3.8.2 and it worked fine:
pip install pycryptodome==3.8.2
