Title: Help Needed. Lost/Missing passphrase Post by: realbagdad on December 11, 2017, 01:22:02 AM I created a wallet on armory sometime last year, and hadn't used it. This year, I reinstalled Armory and restored my wallet successfully with my seed (18 words). Now, to update/backup my wallet, I need my passphrase, which I can't seem to find anywhere.
Is there a way around my passphrase (or to delete/replace it) if I only know my root key? I was under the impression that this root key would allow me to do anything with the wallet, and I don't know how I saved all sorts of information (ID, root key, wallet name) but no passphrase, but that's what seems like has happened.

Damn, that's clever! :-D Ente Title: Re: Help Needed.

Damn, that's clever! :-D Ente Not exactly, it's more of a hamfisted feature where it will restore the wallet from the user's root (this is how you can "reset" the password), but rip the meta data off of the existing wallet.
