Thank you for your email.

is there a way to change my password through megatools? Can I get my
masterkey somehow. I am sure you are right about the special unicode
characters. Because I interpreted the syntax of the command wrong now my
password has " " wrapped around them. Apparently those are not the standard
ones.
Do you think I can recover the password somehow? Like I said megatools is
able to connect at the moment.
Really appreciate it.

Regards
Benjamin
