Hash: 0a860fb147a040342a7ff14976dd4939
Salt: `#"uQ

Does anyone know what type of hash this is? And if possible, any way of recovering my password?

~ thanks in advance

It's 32 letters, so it's a hex digest using the md5 algorithm. There are programs that exist that can use a dictionary of passwords, combine them with a salt, and see what matches the md5 hash.

I can't recommend any good programs, but you're looking for an "md5 reverse lookup with support for salt".

You won't have much luck unless the password is something common. Good luck.

In the future posting on one forum should be enough.
