Title: How to restore access to my XMR wallet?
Post by: tiny_giant555 on August 20, 2025, 04:23:03 PM
Hey everyone !

I Got a quick question for you.

So, I've got my private keys for my XMR wallet saved in a file, but I can't for the life of me remember the wallet address or find the original wallet file. I'm trying to figure out how to restore access.

From what I understand, I should be able to use the keys to restore it. Has anyone done this before? Any tips on which wallet to use or what the easiest method is?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe I am a bit late, but if you have the private keys restoring should be simple. You can follow this guide.

Download and install the Monero GUI Wallet from the official site.

Open the GUI wallet and choose: Restore wallet from keys or mnemonic seed.

Select Restore.
