This is very sad because if you have lost, you will not restore, try to write in support,but not the fact that the am at all it will restore, because why would you prove it,so that the loss is a loss

there is no way to recover the wallet if you forget your private key and did not record it to anywhere. you should check and remember if you noted it somewhere or not. otherwise there is nothing that you can do.

This is a sad news for you. Unfortunately nobody can recover your wallet private key for you except you locate it yourself. That is why it's good to always have backups of our keys on both soft and hard copies Better still use a hardware wallet like ledger, trezor and co. I hope you don't have big money in the wallet

There’s no need trying to recover ur private key
Simply open a new MyEtherWallet account and move your tokens there

Then. Stay safe and clear of phishing sites and apps

He can't actually move his tokens to the new wallet because he doesn't even have access to his out wallet to facilitate such activity. As for OP, You'll have to start all over again by creating a new ETH wallet and use it henceforth for all your activities on Ethereum blockchain. Also ensure you safeguard your new mew private key. I just hope you didn't lose much. Sorry.

Did you ever try to download the keystore/UTC file? If you did then you can use that to log in to your wallet using password and then you can get your private keys back again. If you didn't store the UTC file, then it might be very difficult to gain access to your account again.

The general rule here is that once you lost your Private Key to your Ethereum Wallet account then it can be gone forever. I have read somewhere in this forum of someone offering recovery of the Private Keys but am not sure if the service is really genuine or just out there trying to squeeze some money form willing victims. Now, having said that, this is the best reason why we have to be careful and be responsible for the PK as losing it means you just said goodbye to all coins and tokens inside the wallet. Just be extra careful next time and keep a copy of the PK somewhere where even fire could not decimate it.

If you have lost your private key and if you don't have any other way to access your wallet then there is no way to recover private key.
I hope you don't have lots funds in that wallet, only thing you can do right now is to move to create new wallet and be careful next time.

I think it is very difficult to recover because at the beginning of creation we did not provide any personal data or other data that could be used to restore the wallet in case something happened like missing or forgotten keyword unlike when creating email or other account which has many options to recover email as well can use the data we provide to verify
so you better create a new one

If you lose your private key, then the only way to recover it is to remember where you lost the private key. If you write down the paper, remember where you stored the document. And if you store on the laptop, the search will become much more leisurely.

Oh that kinda frustrating for no way to recover it but if still have the mnemonic phrase you can retrieve it using imtoken app..  But if pk is the only way to access it no way to do so..  That is always advise to keep it, secure it evrytime we are making wallet..  We are the one responsible with that.

I guess  you have downloaded the keystore file to back up this situation. The only possible thing for you to open your wallet through use your keystore file and then just open that with your password and then it should be very easy for you to do that dude.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: ashao1015 on July 31, 2018, 11:00:04 PM
This is absolutely nightmare for any investor. You have to read these things about security when you make a new wallet. If you don't have backup file and you don't remember the password from that file then there is no way. It's very sad but it's true. If you new and not familiar with wallets, choose metamask for convenience(not huge sums) and hard wallets for storing long term offline. As for mobile and web wallets they have a lot of security issues, be careful.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: Denreal on July 31, 2018, 11:03:02 PM
What type of wallet do you use?
I think where you should start from- If you use imtokem , or any other app that asks for password hint, you can recover your password through that. Or better still, you can use your mnemonic phrase if you still remember.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: chokomenia on July 31, 2018, 11:31:42 PM
If you lost your private keys it's game over for your wallet and the coins inside your wallet, there is no way to recover or get your private keys, so once you lost it, it's gone and there is nothing anyone can do about it.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: mr.creampie on July 31, 2018, 11:43:31 PM
That is unrecoverable but didnt you have any backups? i usually put my keys to mutiple places,notepad,then archived with password and put into my email address,then in a safe flash drive so you have some backups when your computer does f*cked up.If your computer was formatted you can try to recover it using some recovery tool which is cheap but sorry for your losses.

Post by: tsmmyth on July 31, 2018, 11:44:40 PM
Now that's a tricky situation you are in now, no one keeps  back up for private wallet keys, that's your sole responsibility, lose them and you are locked out of your own wallet,  i th there is very little choice left for you in this case, as they cannot be recovered, the only way out is to create a new wallet  and start all over again


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: Sinone on July 31, 2018, 11:45:28 PM
The private key is the main thing to unlock your wallet. If you lost it, Then you will never use your wallet anymore. There has another Option, Keystore file. Did you download that? If yes then you can unlock your wallet through that keystore file but if you didn't download that then sorry you can't access your wallet anymore.

Since from the start and ready it during creation of our wallet from Myetherwallet it says we can't recover your private keys anymore once it lost. For the safe keep of it,  it is better to have backup copy for all our wallet addy including keys.

Post by: nwanne on July 31, 2018, 11:50:17 PM
If you have lost your private keys, you can use your key json file and password to access your wallet once again and get back your private, but if you have lost your private and key json file then there is nothing anyone can do about it, your wallet is gone forever, you will have to open another one.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: Mishgan27 on July 31, 2018, 11:56:09 PM
Do you still have the keystore file (UTC / JSON)? you can try to return the private key via JSON. If you've registered for an address recently, you don't have Jason now www.myetherwallet.com not as previously generates json, but if json, json-Format-e password and it can be dangerous for you in the future keep this in mind viruses, Trojans, hackers will have to look.

No one can recover it if you loose then you must accept that you will not open your wallet unless you have a json file that store your private key it was encrypted with password take a look on thr gadgets that you register the wallet and find if you save the json file if you cannot search it then you will lost everything on your wallet.

Like the others have said there is no way to get back your funds once you loose the private key.  I would always make a paper copy and bury it.  This way if there is computer issues your covered. 


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: blue08 on August 01, 2018, 12:16:13 AM
I think you can't recover your private key once it was lost. That is why you have to write it down in your note and keep it in a safe place. Now all you have to do is forget your losses and make a new one and start again collecting coins.


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?
Post by: iAMawi123 on August 01, 2018, 05:33:43 AM
Sadly, you cannot recover a lost private key. But if you kept your JSON file, you can still access your wallet. Write down your private key in a clean sheet of paper and put it somewhere safe or also put it in a flash drive and hide it.

At the current time, there are no any way to recover your private key when you lost it. So, you need be more careful and have experience for next time, you'd better save your key on paper, usb and google drive. As many places as possible

Unfortunately, you can say goodbye to the funds that were stored on your wallet. MEW will simply not be able to recover your private key. In the future, just save your keys in several places at once. When I failed the hard drive, I have been grateful for the fact that I kept the keys on the flash cards

Post by: Ka4Rt4 on August 01, 2018, 06:14:34 AM
I think if your private key is lost there is no way to recover it, unless you keep a record of your private key elsewhere it may be able to recover your private key, and try to remember to save your document and if you do not remember your document it may be unfortunate for you.

Nothing you can do, but maybe you have Metamask installed(with imported wallet) and you have imported your wallet in Etherdelta fi maybe another exchange site(for the tokens), if so quickly send your funds to a new Ethereum wallet, if not not much you can do.

I want to ask you, what wallet did you use to create your eth address ? If it was myetherwallet, you should have the wallet file in json file.
If you find the json file, then you need to know the password. Just use a brute force tool to crack your password wallet.

I can't imagine how that could have happened. I keep my private key in completely different places. And if I lose it, I always know where to look. I'm not entirely sure but you probably won't be able to recover your private key. Unfortunately you lost your coins forever. Be more careful in the future.

No, private key is a genuine combination of your private key and they don't have a program to recover it since people nit use it to hack someone's else wallet, try to use you password with Johnson file... You might be able to take you coins back.

Post by: btctestcolets on August 01, 2018, 07:43:49 AM
I think you can recover your private kay wallet address when you know your Keystore / JSON File. Better need to remember everytime you make a wallet making sure there is a relation behind on a project or special name you put on the registering or sign up.

That's a loss with no remedy obviously as it is clearly stated on myetherwallet hence you've lost your coins which is not good to know who knows how valuable those coins are but you just have to move on and create a new wallet and take cautions to avoid losing your private keys again

It's best if the save private key, then you save at the safest place. And certainly you always remember where you save it. If necessary install safety devices on the document. To make it more safe and reliable. So then you will be more comfortable and your private key secure.

The private key from the wallet can not be restored in any way unless you have made a backup in advance or written it somewhere in a notebook. Here before creating a purse, developers advise it to be stored securely so that in the future there are no such cases. Many people wrote that they lost the keys to their bitkoyn wallets and can not recover them here and count the lope they lost money on this. The best way to store your keys is to print it on paper and save it on a flash drive then put it all in the safe for even more reliable storage of money.

There is no way you can save your funds/access the wallet without your private key (or Json etc.). So make sure you are completely certain that you didn't just misplace it and perhaps search for the JSON file in case you created it at the beginning.

There are to ways to access mytetherwallet account, using  private key which is you lost and can't be retrieve. So your last chance is the keystone file that been downloaded when you create the wallet. Then it have a chance if you imported your private key in imtoken or any third party apps. Those are ways and if you access again your mew, take care all impotant details not just only about key also all crypto assets

Sadly, you will never be able to get your wallet back after you lose your private key. My suggestion is, forget everything then create a new wallet but now, make sure to keep your private key safe. At least make a physical backup of the wallet by printing the private key or writing it down. Make sure to keep it somewhere safe and don't let anyone touch it.

Sorry to hear this but I am not sure you will be able to recover the key if you have not saved it anywhere r even written it down in a diary. This is your key to access your wallet that is why you are advised to always keep this key very safe and privately.

you can use this file to access to your wallet and recover your funds.

I have lost my etherium wallet private key.Could any one know how to recover my private key.
MyEtherWallet is not a "web wallet". You do not create an account or give MEW your ETH or tokens to hold onto. MEW is simply an interface that allows you to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

For security & privacy reasons, no sensitive data is saved, stored, or transmitted when you use MyEtherWallet. They, like anybody else, only have access to the information that is publicly available on the blockchain.

Unfortunately, that means they cannot:

Recover your private key
Access you account
Recover or reset your password
Reverse or cancel transactions
Recover your account
Send your ETH or Tokens from one address to another
There may be a chance that you saved it without realizing it. So, just in case:

Do a full search of your computer for “UTC-“ and see if the private key shows up.
Do a full search of your computer for your address without the 0x at the beginning.
If you know when you created it, look through all files during that time period for any documents that may hold your key or screenshots.
Generate a new wallet via https://www.myetherwallet.com/#generate-wallet and take a look and the different options you may have downloaded or saved. Sometimes that can jog your memory.
In the future, it may be prudent to print out a paper version of your wallet and keep it in multiple physical locations.

I'm really sorry.

Very informative, I also have ever read about this thing when creating the MEW at first. i think that if we lost our private key, it is so sad because it means that we cannot restore it, isn't it? But, can we use the keystore?


Title: Re: Lost etherwallet private key?

There is no way to recover your private key. So it should serve as a lesson to you that your private key should always be safe and to protect it from other people. Because when it's lost you will not be able to recover your funds / assets again. And if that one is aware of others may steal your altcoins.

What's lost is lost. You can't find it and you did not give any information about your wallet, so how can other people find your lost wallet if you can't find it alone? Some needed information has to be disclosed in finding your wallet but it seems that you missed that information too.

Are you referring with MyEthereumWallet or MEW? If yes, you can retrieve your wallet using the Keystore / JSON File. Try to search that on your device and if you remembers the password then you are safe. You will be able to access you wallet and download again the private key. If you no longer have the Keystore / JSON File then say goodbye already to that wallet. There is no other way to get an access with that without the private key or the Keystore / JSON File with a password ofcourse.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If you lose your private key, there is no way to recover it. Because unlike a bank deposit, with crypto holdings no one else will be having your private keys. You are solely responsible to keep it safely and securely.

Post by: vennz17 on August 02, 2018, 02:54:15 AM
If you lose your private key, then the only way to recover it is to remember where you lost the private key. If you write down the paper, remember where you stored the document. And if you store on the laptop, the search will become much more leisurely.
I think it's very rare for someone to write their private key on paper. the safest way I think if your memory is very powerful is to memorize the private key. That is the safest storage in the world. but I can't do that, so I prefer to save on google drive, if the laptop is broken suddenly we are still safe using another PC  :D

Did you save it on your computer and mistakenly delete it? If so unplug your computer as soon as possible and take out it's hard drive. Then buy undelete software, install it on another computer, attached the hard drive and run it there. Hopefully the private key was not overwritten by new files after you deleted it.

Once anyone loses his private key for MyEtherWallet, the best thing is to create another wallet immediately, backup that wallet and move all his coins there. The reason is, if the for any reason the device malfunctions and everything got wiped, he may not be able to recover it anymore since he has lost it in the first place.

A way to recover your pv key is to create new ones. You can create using mew then connect to metamask, don;t forget to save pharaphrase. You are in land of crypto, lost pv key lost asset. PV key is the key you can enter to the banks you own. You should know how to secure your wallet by yourself.

There is no way for you to recover the private key for your wallet if you do not know where you put it, that is why you should always keep it in a place where you know it will not be a problem for you to get it back. If you have coins in the wallet then they might be lost forever. There is another way to access your wallet, use your password along with the keystore file you download when you open the wallet, you can get access that way.

That's it, even MEW themselves has already give a brief warn when someone is generating a wallet and strongly even obligate to backup it people just couldnt careless about it.

Tragically, you will never have the capacity to recover your wallet after you lose your private key. My recommendation is, overlook everything then make another wallet yet now, try to keep your private key safe. In any event make a physical reinforcement of the wallet by printing the private key or recording it. Make a point to keep it some place safe and don't give anybody a chance to contact it.

As far as I know, no one can return or enter your wallet in any way, it's impossible and this is very sad. The private key is the key to our crypto digital assets, if we lose it means we also lose our assets. be patient, hope you get it soon. work harder.

I once deleted by accident the private key from the wallet. That only have not tried I couldn't regain access. Maybe there are ways to restore access without a private key. But unfortunately I don't know them.

It's a disaster when you lose a private key. My question "Do you store a private key on a computer hard disk or similar storage?" if your answer is yes, try making data recovery with a licensed software application or give it to the expert.

As far as I know, it can't be recovered yet, if you forget the private key or even lose it. But, when you created an account , and saved or downloaded the utc / json file, I'm sure your account can be restored. Iam so sorry can not help you  :'( . I also lost my MEW account, because of giving a private key  >:(  :'( .  I am not careful :-\

I don't think there is a solution or remedy to issue of private key misplacement, if you can't access it, i can assume all fund are lost. You need to be more careful with things that have to do with fund.

I am sorry for hearing the sad story of yours. I do not think that you can recover your private key back for I think that the private key is encrypted once you have you wallet in you. Once it is lost, it cannot be recovered that is why there is a serious reminder upon loading your wallet. This is one of the key features of the platform which the most serious concern of the wallet companies. Good luck!

This is so frustrating moment. I am sorry for you, I experienced it too but not a private key in etherium wallet but in the help of the project team I recover it. At that moment I am really frustrated I research all of the possible way that I can try but ot does not work and the last thing I do was to ask for the help of the team and luckily they helped me. Since then I am very careful and have a back ups of my private key, hopefully you will do it. Lesson learned so next time it could not happen again.

That's why people should have multiple copy of their private key, if the first is lost or accidentally deleted, there is still another to open it. In my opinion is not difficult to do, also it can be placed on a smartphone, flash disk or print it and placed in a place that only you who know.

If you have lost the key and can not find, then you can forget about your wallet and the money that is on it, because no one will be able to restore it to you. Can you ask some hackers who love to hack MEW.

Just have a secured folder in your phone or put it in your email, it should be your private email that no one can accept except you since you weren't sure whether your phone or your cp will last.

I think there is no way out on this. However, I think if you still have your wallet keystore, I think you can still recover it. Come to even think of it, how did you get to lose it by the way? Is it that you didn't have the password to your wallet again? Let us know more details to know where to start answering from.

Unfortunately the key is no longer recoverable. In the future, I advise you to simply store it on a flash drive,computer and in the form of a text document then you will never lose it again.

The key is the most important thing for your wallet, if you lose it then it is most likely that you have lost all of your money along with it but with that being said, if you have the password to the wallet and the keystore file you downloaded when you opened the wallet then you should be able to recover back all your wallet information but if you don't have it then your wallet is lost forever.

All of them are the same, including Bitcoin, they just work the same way and once you have lost your private keys there are no ways to revive them back. Whenever you’ see those private keys they will always give you a warning to store them safely so you don’t lose them, because once you lose them they are gone for good and there is no way to recover them. So just forget about it. But if you’re still in possession of your Ether, you can still create a new private keys.

This is a very big issue for ethereum wallet. if you lost your private key so never used this eth wallet any kind of project, if you have a some money so I suggest must withdraw your money. There are too many way to lost your private key because most of the newbie don't understand about private key so they are use fake airdrop section and at least he lost his private key.

MyEtherWallet is not a "web wallet". You do not create an account or give MEW your ETH or tokens to hold onto. MEW is simply an interface that allows you to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

For security & privacy reasons, no sensitive data is saved, stored, or transmitted when you use MyEtherWallet. They, like anybody else, only have access to the information that is publicly available on the blockchain.

Unfortunately, that means they cannot:

Recover your private key
Access you account
Recover or reset your password
Reverse or cancel transactions
Recover your account
Send your ETH or Tokens from one address to another
There may be a chance that you saved it without realizing it. So, just in case:

Do a full search of your computer for “UTC-“ and see if the private key shows up.
Do a full search of your computer for your address without the 0x at the beginning.
If you know when you created it, look through all files during that time period for any documents that may hold your key or screenshots.
Generate a new wallet via https://www.myetherwallet.com/#generate-wallet and take a look and the different options you may have downloaded or saved. Sometimes that can jog your memory.
In the future, it may be prudent to print out a paper version of your wallet and keep it in multiple physical locations.

I'm really sorry.

I have not faced such a situation. But you need to keep duplicates. Have a private key, have an electronic key.  Then you are not afraid to lose your wallet. And yet I wonder if you've found a way to open a wallet? I think it is interesting information

I recommend try searching ur system for JSON file or .utc file, if u lucky to find it, than u can definitely unlock ur private wallet, but if that couldn't be found that u ll never be able to recover ur lost wallet, and only creating a new wallet ll only be the option left.

You can recover your private key if you still have the keystore file that you downloaded when you opened your wallet and together with the password you can get back your private key and use it to log into your wallet but if you do not have any of these things then your wallet is gone forever and there is no way for you to get it back sorry

That's really the unfortunate things that could happen to a crypto investor like you. It also happened to me before when my MEW's backup coundn't be located anymore in my disk. Good thing is that i already the cryptos that i have there are the cryptos i got from airdrops that remains sitting there for couple of months already but still not listed in the market.

MEW is only offering options for a backup before the creation of the wallet but recovering it is not supported yet in MEW, IMO.

It is a pity, but there's nothing you can do about it, because the service is designed so that you simply cannot do this, if you have lost them, you cannot restore them, think about it in advance and try to avoid possible loss.

If you lose your private key with UTC and your login password, there are two ways to sign in, but if you lose both, you will not be able to open them anymore, permanently your coins will be lost.

Very informative, I also have ever read about this thing when creating the MEW at first. i think that if we lost our private key, it is so sad because it means that we cannot restore it, isn't it? But, can we use the keystore?
I suggest those users here in technology make sure that before you participate in bounty program you must able to save your private key in safety files in, order not to regrets at the end when receiving rewards ,it's hard to recover that because you're the only one who knows what it is.

when we make wallets only we know that no one else knows and the web also doesn't know our private key

That is one thing that you do not want to do, if you lose your private key then all of your coins in that wallet is gone. The private key method is designed to keep you safe but it can also be your biggest enemy is you do not keep the keys well, the same thing that keeps others from getting into the wallet without the private key is the same thing that keeps you out
