I found an old json file while going through my old computer. Im wondering what steps can I take to repopulate this wallet
I have an old wallet JSON from 2013, from blockchain.info . How do I access it?

To my shame I was using the same company back in 2013, and also have a “*wallet.aes.json*” file from the same period, though I’ve long since sent my funds to a proper (hardware) wallet, and never used that file.
Just go back to the email which had that file attached. The email will include your blockchain.com “wallet ID”, which is all you need to log in to their shitty “wallet” site:
https://login.blockchain.com/auth/login?product=wallet
if it’s legit you’ll need the password for that json and import it into a compatible wallet, otherwise there’s not much you can do
