Keypass with key (on top of master password) #3

Description

@dayeggpi

I have a keypass file that was encrypted using a master password, but also a key (key that is protected using the current Windows user account.. If i remember correctly, the file was generated by moving the mouse randomly).
I changed computer, and copied my keypass file, I have the master password, but didnt know I had to copy a key as well from my old Windows user account.
Since then of course, I formatted the old hard drive and don't have that key file..

Does this work to crack such keypass file ?

Note for more details, here is a quote from keypass website:

Your KeePass database file is encrypted using a master key. This master key can consist of multiple components: a master password, a key file and/or a key that is protected using the current Windows user account.
For opening a database file, all components of the master key are required.
If you forget/lose any of the master key components (or forget the composition), all data stored in the database is lost. There is no backdoor and no universal key that can open your database.
