Please help me! If I have a STEEM brain key how could I convert it into password?

<p>I need to recover my keys for another account created directly in cli_walled.</p>
<p>In the time of account creation I use the command</p>
<p><code>suggest_brain_key</code> - wich gives me a 16-words brain key and <code>active</code> role <code>wif_priv_key</code></p>
<p>Then I used this <code>wif_priv_key</code> to start STEEM PoW mining. After I found my first PoW block I get a new account activated with 1 STEEM in SP balance.</p>
<p>Well, it's OK and quite simple process.</p>
<p>But currently I stuck with a problem: I need another keys (owner, posting and memo) for that new account.</p>
<p>There is a command in cli_walled program to recover the private keys: <code>get_private_key_from_password</code> but this command requires password, not a brain key.</p>
<p>How could I convert STEEM brain key into the password to recover keys?</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>

When an account is created through mining, all keys are the same. They would have to be manually updated. If you did not update them then you need to recover your account ASAP.

Yes, thank you @roadscape! I figured it out!

I was able to change <code>posting</code> key with the <code>cli_wallet</code> command:

<code>update_account_auth_key account_name posting STM884pLqzhwjpS7MotzfH2iXppnoBtaXQvN8uLBt1t99eShvKgCK 1 true</code>

The same command used to remove previouse <code>posting</code> key from the account - you have setup <code>weight</code> to that key to zero:

<code>update_account_auth_key account_name posting STM6xDB2hRiH8rFT75oidwmk4hVKyvRbyrfHtJpmMKewEVDBkzG58 0 true</code>
This is required to be able to login to steemit.com site with new <code>posting</code> key. You will not able to login on steemit.com if you have more then one <code>posting</code> keys.

Please note: regarding <a href="https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/172">Issue 172</a> if someone uses a string other than owner, active, or posting for the authority type argument of the update_account_auth_key CLI command, it will silently treat the authority type as if it was owner.

To change <code>memo</code> key use <code>update_account_memo_key</code> instead.
