I forgot my MyEtherWallet password. I don't see "forgot password" in MyEtherWallet website. Is this means that I can't change my password anymore? Anyone have suggestions about this matter? Kindly share it to me please. Thanks!

Do you mean you forgot your private key? There is no way to retreive your private key. You are the only one responsible for your private key.


Copied from the MeW website:

MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL.  You are responsible for your security.

I'm afraid you probably can not be helped anymore, unless of course you saved the private access key that is issued when you register your wallet. Perhaps, of course, I'm mistaken, because I'm not an expert in MEW. But I think you should try to write in support.

There is no password.

When you created wallet on Myetherwallet you got your keys, you probably save them to your PC.
Because you have used them at least once to check your balance?

So the question you must ask yourself did you ever opened your wallet after initial creation, if not there is a good chance that you never downloaded your keys in the first place.

When you created your Myetherwallet account, it gave you an option to save the key on your computer. Just check files on your computer, maybe you'll find the file. The recommendation was also to write everything down. If you haven't done it, unfortunately, you cannot do anything about it :(

Did you save your private key?
If you don't have a private key, you may lose it forever, and if you keep the private key, just transfer it to another wallet that supports erc20.

Forgetting the password doesn't have anything to do with it (if you save the private key)
Because you forgot the password, you can't log in the account, so you can reimport the private key.

Changes the password require data from your wallet such as private key or Keystore / JSON File if this gone or you forget to save it your wallet and its contents is also gone.

if you have your private key then no need password, if you lost your private key then no one help you, cause mew sayed you are only responsible for everything.

if there are nothing inside it, it is better you create new wallet and save all of what they want you to save ( the file, key and password ) but if there are something inside it, sorry for your loss. i think there are nothing that can be retrieved if you don't have your private key

Do not get too freaked out, your wallet is still safe and tokens will not be lost.
You still have jason files, and can be used to open your wallet. You must use metamask

Actually, I don't understand why MEW ask you a password to give you an address, as it seems it has no use.

Hi guys, he lost the password instead of losing tokens stored in myetherwallet (MEW). And if he uses Json's file to open it, he must also remember the password to enter the depth of his wallet. And to my knowledge he can open it if he has a private key to open the wallet he uses. And if he does not have it it may be very difficult to be able to reopen the wallet. I think MEW help can not help to open the wallet

There's no password you need to retrieve when you lost in with your MEW account, it's only private key.
Yes, you can't change password anymore as I've said and others have said that there's no password with MEW, it's a priv. key.
Private key = password.

If you have the json file and forgot the password, you won't be able to retrieve it any longer.
If you don't have the private key as well for that wallet, then whatever is in that wallet is - "burned" / irretrievable.  :'(

Next time, save both the json file+password and the private key. In case you lose one, you can still recover using the other.

Its not password its your private key in your etherwallet you must secure it do not send to the airdrop or your bitcointalk account because you will officially scam or hack your etherwallet because you send your privatekey be careful for fillup

MEW makes an ETHER address for you and tells you to add a password to encrypt your keys. This is a pretty smart thing to do. If someone were to steal your laptop tomorrow it will take them some time to crack open the encrypted keystore (JSON), you can use this time to access your address from a backup and move your funds.

Myetherwallet doesn't require password to access your wallet, If you're talking about the private key, bad luck for you, because you cannot recover the private key anymore, your only option is to create or to have another Etherium Wallet.
Note: No one can change Private key.

When you create the Myether wallet initially you should save your private key. Did you save it to your laptop? If you save it you can log in using this private key and no need of the password. Just keep in mind that myether wallet does not store any passwords, private keys or backup keys like other websites. If you lost your password or keys unfortunately there is no way to recover it.

If you forgot your private key you will not open your account to myetherwallet.  Because you cannot forgot password your password to that wallet because in the first place they did not use email. I suggest to those have people have wallet tk myetherwallet better to secure your private key you need to save it to place safe like have password and not only 1 better to save to other documents incase they have problem you can access because you have other option .

you do not need a password to open your account on myetherwallet but only the private key is needed to open your wallet sir if you make a new password really needed but when you have an account private key just needed to open your aacount

He probably means password to create wallet.

OP you need private key to access wallet, not password, if you have lost private key then you have lost your funds. Create new wallet and save private key somewhere(print it on paper, usb and so on).

MEW has the private keys so you can access your wallet if you still have your private keys.The password is just option for read only purpose you can create new passwords if you have the private keys.

Indeed.

Now what's the solution for you? It's simple, you can't do anything about it at all and there is no way to get into it now onwards. The thing is when you create a account you get notified by the MEW many times that you should save your private keys and keystore file somewhere safe. But people don't even care to read it and just rush to get into it.

While creating the wallet you are prompted to download the keystore file, so if somehow it is in your history or in the downloads then you could be lucky enough to access that wallet.

Otherwise there is no way to get into it.

Only way for you !
You try to remember or try all of the passwords that you think may be right! Hope you will succeed! But there is no way to get password back

I think there is no way to help you.
You can try all your password to try, people's memory will wake up with constant reminder. Or to the above recommendations, find the registration is a document, whether there is a record. Wish you good luck.

This statement of myetherwallet can be used to increase our awareness of private key.
Noboday even Myetherwallet team can retrieve your private key. So i hope you dont much token amd etheirum in that wallet

If you have your private key and downloaded the json file. You can access your wallet. But if haven't save your  private key and the json file then you will not recover your funds. You need to create another wallet again and secure your private key.

Myetherwallet Password, what do you really mean? There are no provision for such,what you actually need is your private key and if you miss it or lose it than you will have no access to that wallet again, that why you need to handle your private key as gold or a life you don,t want to miss.

The password which you type initially doesnt really matter as long as you saved your private key, if you remember that you opened that wallet once, then theres a good change that you have your UTC formatted json key in your laptop because MEW will only let you enter the priv key to open the wallet once you downloaded your utc json file.

There will be no password for the Myetherwallet , only private key ,
when you first generate your address they have given you the phrase and Private key , without that you can't access your wallet .

Sorry to say this ,

For any chance check that you may have taken the backup of saved the private key some where in your system .

Do you mean private key? If you lost it, then you cant recover it anymore.

If you use a JSON file to access MEW, you must have a password. I think maybe he lost PK and only JSON file but he forgot his password.

When you registering on MEW you have to save your private key and JSON File with your own passwor to decrypt it . What password you have forgot ? If you cant't login via private key use a JSON option , or vice versa . If you lost both ... well , you should create a new wallet in this case

If you will going to open your wallet choosing Keystore/Json file then they will ask for password after you open the save Keystore file in your folder but if you don't want to use password, choose private key and enter your private keys then click the unlock button but if you forgot your password for Keystore or did not backup your private key then better to create new wallet and save booth password and private keys in your safe folder. I just feel sorry for you if you're former wallet have already deposited tokens because there is no way to retrieve them.

Creating a MEW password simply helps the protocol create you a unique private key. Once you have your private key, you no longer need the password you typed in. As long as your private key is safe and unknown to anyone but you, your funds will be safe

This is an incorrect statement. If you use the Keystore/JSON File to log in, the myetherwallet will require a password.
I always save two options for authorization - private key and Keystore/JSON File.
It is impossible to recover if you lose them.

as far as you have your private key , you dont need password

I lost my Json file password . So there's no way to recover my password?

There is no option to retrieve your password and private key in myetherwallet because myetherwallet is open source and they does not hold your password and private key. Password is only required if you login your account with UTC file otherwise you can login your account with private key if you have access of that.

No problem if you forgot your password it is required when you access your account with UTC/JSON file. You can direct access your account with private key only. There is no provision of password recovery in MEW. You may write to support MEW.

Oh, dude, That's how problems look like. Based on the info that you provide I can safely state that you are in the ass. The big ass.

The thing is that there is no way to retrieve your private key. You are the only one responsible for your private key.

How on earth can you lose it? it should be noted on paper and stored in the bank, in few deferent countries. Or safer bet will remember it and then eat the note. 

Someone have the same your trouble. But MyEtherWallet.com is not a bank and it can not help to restore the password. If you didn't save any files of your MEW and you forgot the password, you may lost your wallet.

I think you only need password when you register and have your Myetherwallet address.The private key when you have successfully made your account is the very important code that you must not share to anyone.Keep it safe for you own good.Because you can make another Myetherwallet account using any password.

I do not think the MyEtherWallet password will have a big impact on what you own. The key in MyEtherWallet is the private key, which is essential to use your wallet. If you keep the private key, do not worry about forgetting your MyEtherWallet password.

Forget about all the coins that were on your wallet and create a new one. There's nothing you can do about it. Try to find your password or secret key. On the site you can not reset anything or restore it.

If you still have your private key with you. You don't have be worried you are save, you can access your wallet using your private key.
Password isn't required to do anything on your wallet but private key.

Thank you for all your response folks. I guess I cannot recover my JSON FILE PASSWORD anymore but the good  thing is I still have my private key which don't need any password at all. Thanks for the time responding my post, thanks for all your information!

I read the story of how the guy recovered his password from the wallet with bitcoins by contacting the hypnotist, I think that this is the only option in your case.

How many of you have heard of these ICO's:
1. Cointed
2. Omnitude
3. Giftz

All are great projects, check them out - solid and professional teams, well-written whitepapers, high ROI, promising future.

there is no way to recover your password unless you still have your private key. yes, that's all you can do with your MEW address. you should be more careful again and always try to make backup data for all your activities.

If they keep your private key to remind you when it is necessery it wouldnt safe to use that wallet huh? If you forgot your private key that is it. it is impossible to take your wallet back. Only way is trying to remember it.

I think your wallet cannot be saved anymore because MyEtherwallet does not use forget password so once you lost password then your wallet also loss

Although you try to send your report to support but support can not help you. Its sad to know you loss it.
Nobody can help you like all thought, at least learn from this miss to get something experience and not to this again.

When signup on Myetherwallet, they required users to input password, but i never have to use this password to login. With private key, you could login to yours wallet and just forget the password.

Important in Myetherwallet private key or UTC file and password. Can not be used without a password. The password and private key must be stored securely on pc.

do you mean private key? or you open myetherwallet through keystone. because the keystone provides the password. and if your password is lost you probably will not find it and you have to create a new wallet.
you must be careful and keep myetherwallet password safely because your assets are in the wallet,

Is there a balance on your MEW if there is no better balance you just created, and if Address MEW is used to follow bounty, just tell bounty manager that you lost your MEW Private key.

Sorry for your lost dude if that wallet have a huge balance well, then i say bye bye to them. First instruction when you created a wallet in myetherwallet is to keep safe your private and print it into a sheet of paper or save at you device file because you are the one who knows you private key and also you are the one who have responsibility to keep that. If you lose that private key then don't be expect that your wallet was recovered., just create a new one and that time you must keep safe you private key.

I dont think he save his myetherwallet private as his op.
After this happen. None people can help you mate.
Take this case as your experience then you will not do the same thing again. I hope you dont have much asset in that wallet because if you have alot, you might be crying long time.

Myetherwallet is not providing forgot wallet features because scammers can use this for manipulating mew account.  You can't change it by the way. The only possible way if you have your privatekey and then you can try to open your wallet through your privatekey. And this is the only way for you. You have no another option.

this is why you need to backup your paper wallet for every myethereum wallets.
backup private keys and restore whenever you need. This is the first rule for crypto usage

Who owns the private key, he owns online wallet and money. I'm not sure that there is a solution to your situation.

When creating a new wallet, try to create a private file in text and put it somewhere! Best wallet maker on the offline computer! Limit open wallet online and use a wallet for small and regular transactions.

in ethereum, there are two ways to control you account. one way is to use your private key. these are just made up of numbers, keys and letters. the  other way to  control you wallet is the  UTC File together with you made password. one thing that you should take precaution is that you can never change you password again. so be sure to keep the UTC file together with your password in a piece of paper.

There is no option to recover your myetherwallet password if you forget it. Password is required only if you login your account with utc file and if you have your private key intact then still you can login your account without password.

There is nice page generated for new MyEtherWallet wallets with ETH address and Private Key.
The safest way to store it:
- print your Private Key on the paper,
- or make a photo of your Private Key via offline camera (not smartphone).

There is no better way to say it that when you lost or misplaced your private key, your account is lost especially with myetherwallet cause you are absolutely in control of the account. As good as this wallet is with privacy if you lose it via your private key either to any one or missing,then the wallet is gone. Open another and keep your lesson learnt

MyEtherWallet.com (MEW) is just an interface to interact with the Ethereum protocol.  When you create a new Ethereum wallet, MEW asks you for a password and then prompts you to save your "UTC / Json" file.  This file contains your private key, but the key is encrypted with your password.  If you have this file and the password, you can recover all the funds in your wallet with 100% certainty.

If you have this file and you have one or more guesses as to what your password might be, then you can attempt to brute force decrypt your password. 

So, you need to do three things:
1. You need to search your computer for your Json file.  If you find it, move on to step #2.
2. You need to develop a list of the passwords you might have used.
3. You need to test variations of those passwords against the Json file.

This article (https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/2018/02/09/how-to-recover-your-lost-myetherwallet-mew-password/ (https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/2018/02/09/how-to-recover-your-lost-myetherwallet-mew-password/)) will walk you through each of those three items, step-by-step, including screenshots from MEW and a systematic method for identifying potential password guesses.

Thanks,

Forgetting your password will not harm you, though you lose 1 security of your account. you can still access your account with your private key and be sure not to forget that one or delete it. you only need the password if you are using the image files, but if there's no chance of having your password remember just choose to access myetherwallet with your private key. well that more important though so never lose, forget or share it. e careful now.

The password is created for a metamask, a program for transferring coins, and there is no mew. I'm afraid the man lost his wallet in the abyss

This is one disadvantage of using MEW, there is no option to recover our forget password but if you have your private key with you then you can access your wallet. But they must give the option to reset our password. while using your private key to log in your account use the secured system. If you lost your private key then nobody can help you.

 I have a follow up question here,  will you be able to retrieve your eth wallet by the use of private key that is written in a paper after having the utc file deleted accidentally?

This is so bad :( i even read that if the building will be burned in fire, you need to write your private key somewhere else, not to loose it anyway. It helps just in case

I got the same thing yesterday as you just got all my account, I made the sinkron automatically, so the data and photos are still in my account even though we lost the key or forgot the password.

In the digital money world, wallets have extra precaution. I am using myetherwallet. you should never lose the key for the safety of your wallet. because if you lose you can not get it back.

I don't think there's another way to recover our MEW account or private key that's why we need to keep it into a secure place.
I wrote down my private key on a piece of paper and keep it on a place that only me could find, and if someone found it, they had no idea what's it for.
losing wallet private keys will result into disaster because there's no way we could access our wallet account without private keys.

Actually, MyEtherWallet do not need any password to login. You just need chose login method and put all information with that method to be login.

Losing our wallet private keys means losing your whole coins inside that wallet because we couldn't access our wallet without private keys and the only way we can do is to find it whatever the cost.
recently, there's a guy who keep on digging a garbage hill of the town because he want to retrieve his hard drive where his bitcoin wallet account was stored.
every crypto wallet should be access using private keys and there's no way to retrieve it except you have copy of private keys digital or hardware.

You can't recover the password . MEW doesn't have this option . So please save JSON File + Password , moreover you can use the private key to login in MEW . If you want to be safer , then you can use MEW Offline

The fact that MEW doesn't have privkey recover option is a good thing, it's a one of many proof that they dont save up your private key to their database.
Just other time, try to be careful to safe your private key into some place that can be easily found but not easily stolen. it's a way for beginner to save their coins safely.

If you use a keystore / json file you will be prompted to enter a password, but if you have privatekey you do not need a password.

fear not my friend! if you forgot your password, you can just use private key to login.
and i dont think the password can be changed. i havent try to change password on myetherwallet yet.

he might lost or forgot his password.
there are many way to log in with myetherwallet.
if you lost your password you can still have your private keys to log in to your wallet.
you should have saved both ways.

lol, myetherwallet password cannot be changed because it is encrypted your keystore json file.
if you using exchange wallet, you can use forgot password feature to retrieve your password.

You should have read that my ether wallet is only an interface, they do not store your password so you are not going to see a "forgot your password" button where you can retrieve that information, the real question is why didn't you write that information? Because by what you state you do not imply that you write your password down, and that is a huge mistake, I know that there are many sites that recommend never to write your passwords but this is precisely the reason why you write them down because the human memory is not perfect and sometimes you forget, so in conclusion I'm sorry to say that unless you remember your password you have lost your coins.

This is the key point, MyEtherwallet is not an online wallet like blockchain.info where you can log in with an email and a password. Myetherwallet ask you for a password only to encrypt/decrypt your private key. The json file you download after you create the wallet is the encrypted private key, when you access myetherwallet with your json file you need to enter the password to decrypt the private key and access your ethers/tokens. Anyway, when you create a wallet, you have the option to write down your private key too. You can access myetherwallet with your private key without needing the password.

If what you mean is you forgot or misplace your private key, the only choice you have is to open your MyEtherWallet using JSON file. Make sure you recall the password that you use when you create your account. IF JSON file password is the one you misplace, you can open your MyEtherWallet using private key.

Don't confuse the concepts of key and password! in General, if any of this is no, then you did not unlock your wallet. And I have not encountered such moments to be honest, but I can not.

Myetherwallet are not consist of password to open your wallet. Private key is one of the most important things that you should be protected and have to send more other backups. If you forgot your private key your wallet you cannot open it. private key are cannot recover.

Find a way to retrieve your private key, so you can retrieve your assets.
If you lose your private key, it is a pity that you may have lost the asset.

Password? You can actually open your mew with your private key if you forgot the json file password, un crypto you have full control of your money so there will be no forget password button as they don't store people's password. If you don't have the private key and the json file then you lose access to your account forever.

If you have UTC file and remember your password then you can access your myetherwallet , if you forget password then there is no way to reset it.

If you have private key then you can access your wallet by private key.

If you don't remember private key and password both, then sorry to say you cannot access your wallet and no one can help.

This what I also concerned

Yes, if you forgot your private key you cannot get back your account. For this situation, you need to make another one and for you to remember it, you can save it in a private document so that if you forgot again you can recover it easily. Be careful for the next time because you lost coin and it's a big regret for you. All your assets will be gone if you forgot it, ether wallet is very important specially in joining bounty campaigns. They require you to have a ether wallet. Therefore , If you lose or forgot your private key, there is no way to retrieve it.

Yes, after you create a wallet in myeetherwallet site this can t change and only yourself know about it,. Here is my tips, use a thurd party apps like imtoken then import your account. You can send token out there to your new created wallet. Purpose is to transfer your money to a wallet which you know what password is it. Then dont forgot again and again

You can search on google like "manual mew" .. if lost private key you can find Keystore / JSON file to open Mew

The password only for login to your wallet using Keystore / JSON File.

https://i.imgur.com/m5nLaZM.jpg?1

If you forgot the password, you can't recover/change your password;

Are you save your private key or you have a mnemonic phrase? If not, do not expect you can access your wallet, your assets will be lost forever.

Of course, if you do not have either a private key or a file, then it's very bad you can already say goodbye to your wallet. I hope there was not a large amount. If the password could be restored, then the theft of addresses would not be uncommon. Create a new wallet, use different ways of storing your passwords on different sources: print on paper, start a separate flash drive, etc. Best wishes to you

Because if using MEW there is no password to open MEW is only private key, so if forgot password wallet mew no problem, because password mew only used for first time make mew, for next if want to open enough with private key.

Tgere is really np forgot password in MEW. when I created my MEW, yes I do provide password for it. But my password is non-sense for me because when I am opening my wallet I am just using my private key to open it. I know it is not safe to use my private key that is why I only open my wallet in times that I need to transfer some of my tokens.

I have a follow up question here,  will you be able to retrieve your eth wallet by the use of private key that is written in a paper after having the utc file deleted accidentally

Probably they know, that MEW is important enough, that you will not forget your password to it. I`m having a maximum serious attitude to store my passwords, especially for MEW

If you lose your password, you can log in using the private key. But you must keep private key, if lost you will lose assets. I think you must keep private key and password wallet in a safe place.

Do you mean myetherwallet  private key right? If it is than you loss your wallet and all the Crypto in it. Losing your private key of your myetherwallet, Tanks

Yeah exactly you cannot change your password anymore, but if you have your private intact then you you don't have anything to worry about, but if you still prefer using password then you can create new wallet and transfer all your tokens to the new wallet.

Same to me. I lost private key and password. I can't send token from my wallet :(

I think thier are no solution on that. Try ask them or email them. Because for if i lost the password. I will immediately create a new one wallet

in ethereum, there are two different ways to control you account. one route is to utilize your private key. these are simply comprised of numbers, keys and letters. the other method to control you wallet is the UTC File together with you made secret key. one thing that you should play it safe is that you can never show signs of change you watchword again. so make sure to keep the UTC document together with your secret word in a bit of paper.

maybe your talking about the json file which needs password to open, if you forgot your password then use your private keys to open your wallet. there are many options on how to access your wallet. your private keys is the one of the most important keys in mew its just like a key in a padlock without it you cant access your wallet and make sure you should keep it in secured place to avoid from hacking and losses.

this is my problem, when i forgot my password, i don't have way to get it  :-[

If you still have a private key or other password file, you don't need to worry, you just need to re-import it.
If you're creating it for the first time in MEW, you probably need to be worried because there's a high probability that you won't find it back.

Private key is very important and you can back up it if you forgot it. The solution is that you should create a new ETH wallet and don't forget to save the private key and the address.

Theres no way to retrieve your password or private key. That the lesson we should learn from itbecause tjat our responsibility as a wallet owner. Before you forget it, just saved all important details of your wallet account including wallet address, private key and even your keystore UTC.So theirs no way for that so better luck next time my friend.

There is no way to get back the MyEtherWallet password. Because digital money has huge risks! Anyone who knows the private key has full rights to that address! Some of the wallet-supplied Web sites do not keep a Private key (MyEtherWallet) so it's not possible to recover it!

In cryptos you are in charge of your passwords, address and private keys, it is not stored any where for you to retrieve it anytime you want, you can try to use their private key to access your wallet, if you have forgotten that too, it's a game over.

According what I know, if you don't have password when you sign in your wallet, may you try to use Metamask and import your private key to back up your wallet in Metamask. Let's try it

try searching for support contacts, if any. should you record the password, whatever it is, email, wallet, and also password account in this forum.

You will not be able to click "remind password". Because MEW doesn't save your password. You have 2 options:
1. Remember your password or find where you saved it,
2. You can log in with your private key. You should have downloaded it when you created the wallet.
unfortunately there are no more options. No one can help you.

For security reasons, MEW is not responsible for your password. You should save it somewhere safe enough

Your private keys will never be recovered unless you wrote it down or stored it in a safety folder or a flash drive. Take extra care when creating certain wallets because one day they might become a big help.

If it is not the private key you are talking about then you are ok. Keep your private key safe, write it in a paper don't store it in PC. As long as you have your private key, you can open your wallet anytime. Just don't know what those password for.

Do you know or have you save your private key ? Instead of opening your myetherwallet using password you can also use your private key in opening but I am telling you to be very careful when you're going to input your private key. Why ? There are lot of phishing sites that may get your key. If thay happened they can open your account and transfer all your tokens.

Once you create a wallet, it will not be replaced again. my suggestion is to create a new wallet, and note the password, private key, and eth address in the place that you think is safe.

At this times, it's hard for you and everyone to forget about MyEtherWallet password. There is no way to do it, you should try to remember how to put sewing! That is the best plan now.

MyEtherWallet does not store your password, private key, or eth address. if you lose your private key, there is no other way than to create a new wallet. therefore I always keep my password, private key, and eth address in my laptop or google drive.

whilst developing a brand new pockets, try to create a non-public document in textual content and put it someplace! pleasant pockets maker on the offline laptop! restrict open pockets on line and use a pockets for small and normal transactions.

If you mean something you can access your wallet with, then  I think you are referring to your private key, or any of the hardware if that's what you used. Your private key was given to you when you first signed up, and it was advised you keep safe, but somewhere you could easily get access to it. If you can't find it now, then I'm sorry, I don't there's any other way you can access your wallet, cos it cannot be recovered.

According to me if you forgot the password,no one can help you. It has some ways to recover it.
1) Try to remember the password.
2) Private key is an important back up and
3) Re-import it.

Use your password only for Keystone to access your wallet. If you forget it, it's okay. You still have Private Key to log into your wallet.
There are 2 ways to log into your wallet, so do not worry. Or you can create a new wallet to be more secure.

What is the safest way for login on myether wallet ?

I advise you to keep your private key in several places, as an example on two different usb flash drive or hard disks.
in which case there is a greater chance of regaining access

There are many ways to get your wallet back in. You need your private Key. according to the most important thing in wallet creation. if the private Key you lost it difficult to return your wallet. Now is your great lesson for yourself so do not forget your password.

That password encrypts the Keystore / UTC file and is used to unencrypt it to reveal your private key. So, you'll need either your private key (unencrypted - which you should have printed) OR the combo of both that password AND the Keystore / UTC file.

I'm learning myself, so if this is incorrect, I'm sure others will set us straight.

When you created your address via MEW (I presume) it gave you a JSON file. This file has your private key encrypted with your password. This is so if you leave your json file on your pc and it gets stolen. The thief needs to brute force the password. It is a way to reduce risk of the clear text private key being discovered.

The password you enter when creating your account on MyLetterWalk does not have any effect. To log into your MEW, you need a private key to gain access to the wallet. If you lose the private key, I'll have to tell you that you will not be able to access your wallet and there is no way to retrieve it.

You probably cannot retrieve your account in myetherwallet because the there was no option that tells to retrieve your account hence it is the owners fault because you've forgot to save the private key and it was very important because the security of myehterwallet is great and they did not believe you even if you lose your private key because now a days there is a lot of scammer so it may be one of the reason that they not may entertain you. Try to browse your download file maybe you downloaded your private key I hope so good luck.

I advise simply to create a new wallet. I sympathize if you had tokens in your wallet.

While making another wallet, endeavor to make a private record in content and put it some place! Best wallet producer on the disconnected PC! Farthest point open wallet on the web and utilize a wallet for little and customary exchanges.

When you create myetherwallet wallet you get your private key and downloaded keystone/json file. Remember? Try it to sign in your wallet

My dear, you do not need your password to access your Myetherwallet. Maybe you are referring to your Private key, which is couple of alphanumerics given to you the first time you logged in. I hope you saved it somewhere, that is what you can use to access your account, and if you didn't save it, then i'm sorry to say, but I don't think you can access the account anymore.

Nope, they don't have that option "forgot password" on my etherwallet website. I don't know why you forget your own password, that's basically the most important think on your wallet lol. I think no one can help you about this problem, just make a new wallet and don't forget the password again. Why not use the auto save password on google chrome?

Nothing can help you now. Unfortunately only you are responsible for the safety of your password from the wallet. next time be smarter and more careful

in ethereum, there are two different ways to control you account. one route is to utilize your private key. these are simply comprised of numbers, keys and letters. the other method to control you wallet is the UTC File together with you made secret word. one thing that you should play it safe is that you can never show signs of change you secret key again. so make certain to keep the UTC document together with your watchword in a bit of paper.

To me i believe that forgetting the password doesn't have anything to do with it (if you save the private key)
Because you forgot the password, you can't log into the account, so you can re import the private key back.

in ethereum, there are two distinctive approaches to control you account. one course is to use your private key. these are basically involved numbers, keys and letters. the other strategy to control you wallet is the UTC File together with you made mystery key. one thing that you should take no chances is that you can never hint at transform you watchword again. so make a point to keep the UTC record together with your mystery word in a touch of paper.

Yes you can never change your password and you can only access it if you have the private key . But its sad if there are coins inside so you better save your private keys always to prevent such thing if you think you been hack then there is no other way than creating a new one

it looks like you will forever lose your MyEtherWallet. you should be more careful in storing. make this an important experience. do not repeat again for the future. thanks

I can login to MEW using my private key, so where do you keep your private key for that wallet, it should be your concern to always keep it in a place only you would know, I'm afraid you lose access to your wallet and not lost your token permanently

It is not recommended way to use password to enter your Myetherwallet. The most secure thing you should use is Metamask.

We should keep presence of mind everytime when we share our address in campaign we participated and in reality we thought address but we submitted private key in which it is a bad luck for us. Before we start make sure to keep on safe our MEW to avoid regrets at the end.

If anyone will lose his password, he can use his private key to open his wallet and that is the last resort that he has. If he lost that one also then better forget that one because there is no other way you can access your wallet anymore. Next time be careful with your password and private key and you should not lose it.

If you use a JSON file, you'll need to use a password. If you use a private key, you do not need a password. If you lose your password then there is no way to get it back.

Sorry about that, if you use private key to login and you loose or misplace it, then there is no way out.  Myetherwallet team do not keep private keys it's always users responsibility to protect his or her wallet by keeping the private very safe.

Not something like resetting your password. You have security words for the private key. Do you have something written down?

I think you log in using keystore and forget a password to unlock but if you still have private key just log in with your privat key. No need password.

When you make a new wallet the primary to be saved to have an access in a wallet is the password or the private key make sure you keep it safe for the security and to prevent the hack.

MyEtherWallet actually gives a private key to access your password. If you have lost your key I'm sorry there is no other way to access your wallet except try to find out where you put your key. Try to find in deleted files or somewhere like this.

As far as I know, MEW has no password. but there is a private key. if the private key is lost then the wallet will disappear too. and MEW does not deviate from your private key

This password encrypts your private key. This does not act as a seed to generate your keys. You will need this password + your private key to unlock your wallet.

Until now I don't understand the use of passwords when creating myetherwallet, when I want to transfer ethereum or tokens with a private key, there doesn't need a password, so I think if losing a password this doesn't matter.

there are many ways to get your wallet back to your private KEY because your key is that it is important that you email in order to recover your account. so read the advice of the people in the forum so you know what you need to do to recover your account.

If you use a JSON file to access Myetherwallet and you lose your password, you lose your wallet.

For safety reasons, instead of opening your myetherwallet using password you can also use your private key in opening but I am telling you to be very careful when you're going to input your private key. Why ? There are lot of phishing sites that may get your key. If thay happened they can open your account and transfer all your tokens.

The most important thing is the security of your keys to your wallet MEW. Keep them in a safe place, better transfer them to paper. Also install an additional app - EAL or MetaMask or Cryptonite. This is information on the security of your wallet MyEtherWallet.

My condolences to you! Currently, it is very difficult to recover passwords! You should be more careful next time or try the password you think might be used!

Do you mean you forgot your MEW password for decrypting your keystore / json file ?
I think there are some program that you can use for brute-forcing your password, as long you have your MEW keystore file.

If you lost your private key, I think that restoration is impossible.
If everyone can recover easily, the hacking damage will also increase.

Password is one of the most important key to the security of money and it must be paid with good attention in the another case you could lose you money because of theft. I change my password each time when I feel that it is close to be opened.

You don't need any password for Myetherwallet account. What you to need to access your wallet is your private key that might saved on your computer or phone when registering.

Are you sure on what you're talking about ? In MyEtherWallet you don't need a password all you need to access your wallet is your private keys. You can't change it. Private key is the most important to secure your assets from there, if private key lost your funds will also lost.

This is not a big deal, you just need to re-import the wallet and then you can reset the transaction password.

Maybe by making a new myetherwallet will be the right and fast solution. For events that you experience, don't repeat them again. You must be more careful and save your password in a safe place. You are responsible for the security of your own account.

password? to my knowledge, Myetherwallet does not use a password, you just have to save Jason file or Private key, but if that is what you mean and you lose it, then your wallet will not be able to access. to withdraw, transfer or make a deposit

No there is not any chance to recover your password. You can access your account if you have private key now. Myetherwallet never hold your password or your private key. That means in case you loss your password or private key you lose your account forever. If you have private key, I like to suggest create a new account and write your private key and password on hard paper. Then transfer you all token from old wallet to new wallet. If you don't have access of your old account than just forget about your fund. One thing you can try, you can try your all password that you using on there wallet or website. Try to remember. If match than you are lucky. For future not only Myetherwallet , write your all wallet password on safe place like hard paper. So if you forgot password it will help you. Best of luck.

you can try login using metamask but using your private key
i think just this way you can try

That is why it is highly recommended that you always have a hard copy and a soft copy back up with your wallet key and password, it is best if you always have your USB or your hard disk drive to keep your important files.

Next time save your password properly. You can also save private key and json file in a safe place in order to prevent both hack attacks and this case while you forget your password

There is no password for Myetherwallet, only the password for the json file you have. If you forgot this password and did not back up your private key, say goodbye to your eth address. Next time do not forget to back up all your information.

All I can say to you is Sorry for the loss because Myetherwallet doesn't give access to anyone but the owner only. And the owner need only the password or the Key in other to open it. Next time be sure to handle your private key wisely and make as many as you can a backup of private keys so that you may not able to forget it again.

Really can't help about forgetting the password on MyEtherwallet.
Just a suggestion, you need to make a new Myeherwallet wallet.
It has been explained on the Myetherwallet site that myetherwallet cannot recover a wallet when it forgets a password. It is best to protect your private key and keep it in a safe place.

You mean that you forgot password to enter to Metamask, is it right? Because to sign in MyEtherwallet, you just need have private key and if you lost it, you will never get into your wallet again

Do you forget your private key of your ETH?
When you created the wallet, did you download the keystore? Did you save your private key? I think it is very crucial to save our private key securely. For, the MEW or the wallet will not take the responsibility of any kind of loss, forget, and other things that make the private key lost. So sorry to hear that.

regrettable situation. But to such things one must immediately approach responsibly and think about the consequences. It will be a great lesson for the future that you need to have a spare place for storing such important information

This really a bad news for you mate. You will not be able to recover your password. But you can still open your wallet using your private key and it's not the safest way to access your wallet. Using private key to access your account have the highest chance of your wallet being compromised. Unless you lost your private key and there is no way you can recover your wallet.

if you mean the secret key, then you can not restore it, unfortunately, there is one option, to inform the administrators who lead the company. about replacing the wallet.

MEW is not reliable now and I recommend to have a really hard password and to change it so often because it will be very safe for your money  I am sure.

If you have a private key, the password is not needed, but if you have not saved your private key, then no one can help you. Unable to unlock it.

unfortunately it is, and I also know a lot of examples of when people lost their fortune due to losing their passwords

Forgot your password on Ethereum, it means you have lost this ETH wallet forever, please mourn.

as far as I know ethereum password you can use the private key, do you save the private key from ethereum? if you do not save private key ethereum you may not be able to restore your password.

You're a goner dude if you properly read the instructions before you opened www.myetherwallet.com it clearly states there that:

You do not need password to have access to your Myetherwallet private key is enough to whatever you wish to do on your account therefore if you meant private key wave to your fund in that wallet

This is bad for you.  You can forget about this wallet.  Next time, save the key in several places.  Write down the paper and save it on a flash drive.

Overall i could say you are fked but maybe this could help you out just a little bit:

https://kb.myetherwallet.com/private-keys-passwords/lost-ethereum-wallet-password.html

I am very sorry to say this, but you have lost your coins forever. ETH is a completely decentralized product, developers will not be able to help you.

Did you mean you forgot to save your Private key or your JSON file? If you forgot about that maybe you should move on and just forget about that because your wallet can't be accessed anymore.

You have private key or Keystore/JSON File? password recover never possible i think. Myetherwallet is not like other wallet in here you can't anything recover.So keep restore in safe place.

If you lost your private key it mean bye bye to your account. There be nothing you can do anymore if you lost all of your private key or json file. That why before you create myetherewallet you need to write down or save your json file at a very safed place. Because nobody can recover it back.

does yes myetherwallet use its own password? or can you create your own password? are you not given the choice to choose to use security, do I think you can use the security code that you use, such as a private key or something else. Even I don't think I know how to change the password or forget the password.

I am sorry to inform that there is no way for you to retrieve your password anymore. You should have saved your password sonthat you will have access to it in times like this. Dunno how much your wallet worth it but make sure to make a backup of everything to prevent this from happening again.

Myetherwallet does not safe password or your private key. Myetherwallet help you to interface with ethereum blockchain without holding any of your ether or token on it's server. If you can not access your account, you might as well say goodbye to your fund!

What do you mean? Is that keystore/JSON file password? If it is, you can still access your wallet by clicking import private key, Find your json file and click it there's private key inside to your json file then copy the private key and paste it to the myetherwallet.

I think it is not a password! it is your private keys that you forgot and that's the worse thing that happen to you because eth private keys it can't be retrievable.

Being engaged into crypto investment, we should always put in mind that everything we do is very crucial since we know that crypto investment is very risky. If we add it with our carelessness, then we are just making it more risky. I don't really know if there is a way of retrieving it other than your UTC backup. I just hope that your wallet has no assets in there.

Forgot? What do you mean? You have to access it using your private key. If you do not have your private key, then say bye bye to your precious funds. They are all gone. No one in this world can get you those coins back. Should have been careful with your private key. you should know how critical it is.

Private password MyEtherWallet must be carefully stored in several storage locations. This may be a portable flash drive, print the password on paper. The main thing is not to store the password in the computer on which you work.

If you have forgotten your password and password long enough, you probably do not have the opportunity to open for (at this time) may need more time for technology and computing speed of the computer change

Unfortunately, if you forget the private key you will not get into your wallet. Check carefully, maybe you have a file in which\mu you can go in a purse .

Alas, but if you lost your secret key, you will not be able to recover it, this was said on the website during registration, so a lot of money is lost in cryptography, quite a few people have already lost their keys and passwords and unfortunately the money is then burned

do you mean myetherwallet's private key? and it is impossible for you to memorize your private key, because the private key is a combination of very long numbers and letters, if you forget to copy and paste your private key, try searching the Keystore / JSON file on your laptop

Password doesn't matter for access Myetherwallet. You can access more two ways JSON file and others way is Private key.
Please check your storage and find out one of these (JSON file/private key).
If you able to find that, then possible to access your wallet. Otherwise it is not possible to recover your myetherwallet. Always keep safe every important things in safe place.

that's why smart people write down all the keys either on a computer and encrypt or write in notebooks and hide it (you will be taught a lesson!)

If you mean password for login then you will need to consider contacting you’re service provider if there is no option for resetting your password. But if what you’re referring to is private keys, then there is no need to bother, cause once you lose a private key it’s gone and there is no way you can retrieve that back. But as for password, you can be able to reset your password once you forget it.

does myetherwallet use a password ...?
maybe you are wrong, not your lost password, maybe the secret key is missing.
is a dangerous thing if you lose the Private Key that you have.

Hello and this is really baf for you. When you open yor MeEtherWallet there was writen that you shouldnt forget your password because you cannot recover it. So now yiu have time to remember it.
Good Luck with it.

Maybe what OP means is private key, because some wallet site need password to access like blockchain or coinbase, maybe this is first time for OP to access myetherwallet. just hope he is not lost his private keys because he not respond people anymore.

Sorry, but there is no way you can retrieve a MEW private key, since it is generated randomly for your safety it cannot be retrieved, since the website itself does not also lnow the private key that was given to you, It must be secured and remembered, they always give you the option to copy nd paste it on somewhere safe, and since you forgot yours there is NO WAY you can retrieve it, learn from it, my friend, goodluck.

It's happened to me a couple of years ago. Sorry, I hope you didn't lost so much money.

the password of MyEtherWallet is one of important information which you should to keep safe as much as possible if you are in crypto

It's ok if you forget your password as long as you have saved your private key. Based on my experience, password is not that useful because I was always using the private key when logging in my accounts.

Myetherwallet service is not store your password or private key, when you create wallet on MEW they asked to save the private key, json file and remember your password, but when you forget your password, you can access your wallet from another way using private key you saved.

I don't know why people are posting hundred times after 12-13 pages on this thread. The answer has already been given by some members properly and need no explation. Please stop posting on this thread.

Indeed, the answer to this question was given a long time ago, the guys lost pass then and forget about your wallet

This story reminded me about finnish guy, who was trying to retrieve BTC that he was lost 6 years ago, because they were worth 6 million dollars.

The bad news, if you don’t have a secret key, the case is very bad, you won’t be able to regain access to the wallet. MEW does not store wallet data as safe as possible.

I think we cannot recover private keys from myetherwallet. We should have also 2 to 3 back up so that we can recover it even if you looses. We should protect it from everyone else you are the one who should know it to avoid loosing of coins.

if it is only password you are more or less safe. you can connect to your wallet with your private key anyway. but you can not connect with the file probably. but if you lost your private key, there is nothing that you can do to get your wallet back.

If you lost anything for MEW (myetherwallet) then you cannot recover anymore because the site tell this 'MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions.' if you don't have money in the wallet just create a new one, if you have I'm sorry you lost your money in there

Firstly you really don't need password for using myetherwallet except the time of your registration so you could secure your private key!  Your subsiquent operation of your wallet will require only your private key and some other more secure process!

How did you managed to forgot your own password? Or loose your private key. Such actions are pretty strange and they do not seem real to me.

If you forgot the password to your MEW json file or lose the private key, then whatever is in that wallet is "lost".

Remember: You are your own bank in the crypto space.

You should have your private key during the registration I think you should go look for it that is the only way to get back your wallet

man, it is decentralization, there is no somebody help you with forget password function, so accept it and next time write your password properly.
You should care in advance.

Sorry but we cannot do anything to retrieve your myetherwaller, because the private key is very important to open that. Accept the fact, and make another again.

It is sad bro, because as mentioned before there is no way of restoring it. Just try to scan your PC, I am usually saving all the private key on my laptop and if I need them, there are available.

It is important may be the protection of the secrets for your wallet MEW. Maintain all of them inside a secure location, much better move these phones document. Additionally set up one more application EAL, MetaMask, Cryptonite. This really is home elevators the actual protection of the wallet MyEtherWallet.

You needed to move on because losing your private without any backups just entitled you lose everything inside that wallet, that's the reason why
we needed to have extra backups and security in order to assure that the assets are safe and you always have other options just in case things
like this happen to your wallet.

I do not know on how to doing that if we lose our password of MyEtherwallet.
Must better to be careful about your password because it is important for us. Just save you password on any document or in flashdrive or in the paper.

Well, without the private key of your wallet, I think it will be impossible to unlock it and it really becomes a problem.

If you forget the password that used to access your wallet with JSON File, you can use your private key or Mnemonic phrase to log in. To prevent this happen again, you should backup your wallet information, including password with JSON File, private key and Mnemonic phrase in a safe place.

Use your private key. If it is lost, you will not be able to access your MyEtherWallet wallet. The service says that we are responsible for saving our passwords. You can't open your MyEtherWallet.

there is no recovery password in myetherwallet, if you mean the private key well you can not recover or change it, you should save the private key, there is no way to recover it so create another address don't forget to copy the private key then paste it to notepad or anywhere that you can only see your private key.

I think you wanted to asked about the private key. that is all you need together with your wallet address to do all you need on myether.com. It is not like signing into our email or social media account. if you want to just check for your reward, wallet address is OK, if you want to withdraw, you now need private key.

Maybe what he meant  is the password that MEW is asking us to fill when you are about to make a new Eth wallet. I also wonder what is that for. I was never asked for a password whenever I was logging in though. I still keep those passwords I assigned though just in case I might need that in the future. Is there anyone here who know what the password is for?   Password NOT  private key.

If the password is forgotten it can I get Toko to sympathize with as the road to his recovery does not exist. Be carefully in the creation and storage of access to MEW !

This is a common problem on those newbies that been joining this technology without a proper orientation. They should consider their password or private keys as their partner's in life.

Before recovering the access, you should check your PC for viruses, because it is unlikely for you to lost password without significant reason for it.

If you forgot your password, you can enter your private key instead. If you are using a JSON file, it requires you a password but if not, do enter your private key. Though, JSON file is much safer, it is not allowed to change your password.

Unfortunately there is no technical support that will help you. This is done so that the scammers who stole your data could not get access to your money. Think about where your key can be written. If you do not find it this is the end.

Should still somewhere to stay Kay Stor file, unless of course you have not deleted it. Do you have a lot of tokens on your wallet? If we are talking about a couple of hundreds of $$$ then this is a good price for such a life lesson. If more - then it is certainly worth continuing the search.

I was told by my friend that I should keep it in a safe place that would not gonna lost it that's why I put it in my favorite storage. And of your password was deleted just try to open your save file that you downloaded before you start creating it.

MEW is now not the best way of storing tokens, because it is not protected very well. When you will get your tokens, try to find other reliable solution.

Yes unfortunately, there is no forgot password in MEW like in other sites like facebook or gmail, because there are no ways to retrieve it. I think it is even stated in the site while you were signing up for a wallet.

Difficult situation. You should have duplicated all your passwords. Now your coins will become part of the story. I advise you to be more careful next time.

To sign in to MEW, you must have a private key, or a file with a password. If you forget your password, you can never log in to your wallet address. Create a new wallet and save your private key to log in

Probably you were using Keystone files to open your MEW account and you forgot your password? At the time of creating MEW account there are two options to save your keystone file and private keys with bar-code, if you have your private key then go to MEW site and open account directly with private keys else you will not be able to open your account. I would also like to suggest you to take advantage of free social medias like YouTube to learn about how to use MEW & always keep your private keys secretly and don't share it with anyone.

Based on my understanding, we can use only MEW password to create myetherwallet, but after that you dont need those password anymore because the only things you need to save is your private key, because that`s the only things that you can use to open your wallet.

Yes.There is no "forget password in MyEtherWallet". So, we can't change password in MyEtherWallet. But we can use other method like private key to log in and if you use metamask and you remember the password of metamask you can log in to MyEtherWallet without any problem. If you can't use those two methods sorry no one can help you.

There is nothing like forget password on MyEtherWallet because the the whole process is decentralized, MyEther wallet uses the ERC20 smart contract decentralized facilities for its operations, what you needed to protect here is your private key which is an important of their security, if you loose your private key, there would no way to recover it. Thanks

if that means there is no way to save our MEW? there is nothing that can be linked to the MEW account which causes us to be unable to open our MEW if we forget our password, so I really keep it from being forgotten even though it doesn't contain much but it is my asset

my ether wallet according to the power like a treasure warehouse key for me if I lose then we will lose everything then we have to save and remember the password and we must protect the confidentiality

I don't think that can be anymore, because wallet problems are very sensitive issues, you should be more careful to save your password as best you can

You do not need a password to use your myetherwallet etherum account
all you need is your private keys, did you keep them ?

If yes, log on  to imtoken app and use your account

if no, forget about the account, its gone forever

This is the reason why you must always keep your private key , passphrase and key files to avoid lossing your assets. I hope everyone will learn from it.

I don't think it can be returned so it might be an experience if you forget your password, you can backup your private key. it is risky if you have to forget your password myetherwallet.

I think you have to be more diligent in reading the warnings on the MyEtherWallet portal, because it has been explained that you have to secure your private key, or you can also secure the json file + password for first layer security.

if you lose the private key, then use json file to log in
if you do not have a private key and json file, your wallet is forfeited and cannot be recovered. next time, if you make a new wallet, please be careful. Check all the important things that you can use to access your wallet and store in a safe place

you forgot your private key? I'm sorry but there's no way to recover your private key so you have lost your funds..... it's better to store your private key in a safe place and make copies ot that.

I agree, since the creation of mew, I have never needed a password, I use only the private key

password has no recovery in myetherwallet!
I do forget about the password of some of my wallet.
But the more important thing is you have the privatekey safe on you!

Currently I do not understand why people still use MEW when there are many applications on the smartphone can support users to create ETH wallet in just a few minutes. It is also very easy to manage and control it compared to MEW

Therefore, the storage of secret keys must be treated very carefully. Here mistakes are not forgiven. If you have lost your secret key (it is impossible to forget it, because it includes too many numbers and letters and no one can remember it), this means you will lose access to your MyEtherWallet wallet forever.

Passwords that many people use today are still amenable to social engineering, because so many people still use something standard in them that has been studied many times by hackers and is used by hackers today

I'm sorry but I think you don't have chances to reset your password. Maybe you write in support my view that it's all. Be careful next time.

It's nonsense to think myetherwallet is a smart contract.
MEW is a completely client-side wallet. Nothing is stored on MyEtherWallet servers! This means you hold your data, private key, keystore files.
If you lost password from keystore file, only bruteforce attack can help.

Yes, unfortunately this means that you have lost access to your wallet forever. be careful next time

You dont need to your mew password. They only want that password from you to create their priv key i think. Your private key is the most important thing for you. Also while opening new ethereum wallet you have to download json file. and you can use your wallet with that file or with your private key. I hope it make sense.

you probably now need to hope for a miracle because none of my zgakomyh who lost the private key from your wallet could no longer restore access to it. hold on and believe

There are several ways to enter in the myetherwallet. Maybe, you still have the Keystore-file on your computer that you should have required to download during the wallet registration. And with its help, you can get in the wallet.

Really don't get it, but if its your wallet key then i don't think there is any way to recover it. I suggest you create a new one and be careful this  time round since you can't be throwing away your monies just like that. Ensure you get a back up plan for everything you do as a crypto enthusiast.

It's futile. You will not be able to recover your password, your only chance is to find the secret key and start using it exclusively.

To avoid this case I advise to save your password and secret key on two or even more flash drivers

One of the disadvantages of cryptocurrencies is the inability to recover the password if it is lost. Unfortunately, you are faced with this on their own experience. To avoid this situation in the future, write down your password and keep it in a safe place.

The way MEW  operate is quite different from other wallets, with regards to the fact that you can access your account with your private key and unfortunately once you loose your private key, you won't be able to access your account again. Look through your computer carefully, if it is saved on it.

There's no way you can restore it. Try to remember it and pick it up.
I don't think you have many combinations in your head.

If you lost your password then there is no helping you. MEW doesn't have a forgot password feature and I think same thing applies on other platforms when creating a new wallet. That is why I always store my private key and password because there is no way of retrieving it even if you contact the team or technical support of the wallet.

In fact, if the user loses the password, then it is so scary to me, even if the attacker finds it out. The main thing is that the secret key and the file key must be kept from prying eyes.

I'm sorry to say this. Forgot your password on Ethereum, it means you have lost this ETH wallet forever. ETH is a completely decentralized product, developers will not be able to help you. You should be more careful about your password

I believe that if a person has access to his ethereum wallet secret key, this does not make it difficult for him to use it. Or I'm wrong?

MEW is assets storing decentralized wallet. There have privatekey and not password. If someone Loss once there privatekey never recover it again. We can use for it to JSON/ KEYSTONE file for login. Are u use to log keystone files with password then forgotten you can use privatekey for login.

I don't think anybody can master that long string of a private key to heart, and if you're lucky you might have written it somewhere and just need to look around. Otherwise if you can't remember, any coins coming to this address should be forgotten.

Maybe OP did mean password to the json/keystone file :)
if Op can find this json file on his computer he can try several guesses to access the wallet....if no correct guesses forget about the wallet but save the json file in case you remember in the future.

Actually you don't need any password in  MyEtherWallet website. A password which you typed when created a wallet was used only once as a random phrase for creating a pair of address+private  key. After that you should remember only these 2 things: ETH address and private key. You don't need anything else. At any time you can get access to this your address by the private key, either on MEW website or on any other website(or app, software,etc.)  which supports  ETH wallets.

Did you mean 'private key' when said 'password' (may be)? In this case your wallet is lost forever, nobody can restore the private key. Just stop to send ETH&tokens to that address and create a new one.

I think you can't help, my password wallet is not restored unfortunately

Theres nothing for me to help this kind of problem and I think you need to create a new ether wallet its easy right? Than to suffer remembering how to get you password. Maybe if you already joined in a campaign you can request changing your mew for you to get you tokens your worked for them.

Sorry mate but I believed there is no way to recover it since myetherwallet itself don't have an access to your wallet. You're the one who is responsible of your pk anytime. Next time instead of saving it in computer, try also to write it in a paper and keep it as a treasure. Don't trust the technology.

Yes my etherwallet password is need to be keep in a  secured place,.or we may make a double check put in a safe  note wheres no one can hack your personal keys.,because if we lost our key,we can never get it back.

I think you can change your password by Private key and Keystore/JSON File, check YouTube you will find some answers. You should save password by autosave when you open myetherwallet account.

This way you won't be able to recover it! When you register you should have sent a graphic key. Find it and use it to enter your wallet. This is your only chance.

Yes its true this is what i used to do also i keep my password and private key safely so that it can never be hacked or gone because if we loose our keys we cannot recover it again,.your tokens can be lost forever and it is wasted.

No way to restore lost key in mew.
try to find private key from your wallet maybe you save it somewhere.
Try search it on json file

It is better to create a new wallet MyEtherWallet and in the future it is always necessary to save passwords. I always save passwords on 2 flash drives. Be careful next time. Good luck.

You need your private key. If you don t have private key, written on somewhere -
you can t enter to your wallet anymore (unless, you remember your password, of course).

MEW can t restore your info. It s interface, not a service.

 That is one of a worst case could happened if you could not be secured about your password. Personally, I experienced it too but not in eth wallet. When you did not have any back up of your password you do not you will got be frustrated especially if you have a coins on in your wallet. Try to research on youtube or some legit websites regarding for retrieving your password.

if you forget password myetherwallet means it's over because it will be difficult to restore your password, you should always save password on a flash drive and cloud drive

I agree, just create a new one instead to find your UTC file. If that account had a token then maybe scan your computer and search the UTC file for retrieving your private key.

You should've placed it somewhere SAFE and DON'T lose it, and you can't even blame MEW for this since they have never even lacked on REMINDING us to always save our private keys somewhere safe, they even offer you more secured methods on opening your wallet and not even only on accessing private keys, and that is why you should never FORGET your private key since MEW will not save you for losing it, better luck next time dude.

Yes, it better to create another new account but I will advice the use of Metamask and others secure services but the act of saving password on a flash drives is also vulnerable either because anything can happen to the flash and I will advice you to keep save one of the flash in safety deposit box while you code some part of the password so you'll be the only one to understand what the codes mean or else you may still loose your coins.

The person who created the topic is because of the fact that he lost the private key and forgot the password. So anything he does will be a waste of time.

I think he meant it. Most likely the person has lost his private key. Because he put money into his wallet through him. I think this topic would not have arisen if he had a private key.

On the wallet you will not open it. Your coins will be kept on it forever.

There is no password needed for myether wallet only private key or UTC file to access.

too bad my friend i think you lost it forever unless you have saved the print out version somewhere in your PC i hope your portfolio is not something to regret for otherwise you should look for the print out and try to secure your  private keys and passwords using different extension on chrome.

I am pretty sure that when you open the MyEtherwallet website, you can clearly see their disclaimer window, before you can access your dashboard. Regarding your concern, MyEtherwallet has no way to retrieve your password. Because you only know the password, and it is not recorded on their database.

And do you have the private key? Everytime when you creates new address you receive private key and json file which is encrypted by password.

There is no need to reset password and Myetherwallet don't need password to unlock. You can unlock your wallet by your private key by clicking "Send Ether and Tokens" button on the upper of the Myetherwallet.

There's other method to access the wallet too and some of them may really requires password but using privkey or json will not require anything, imagine if MEW saves all the password it'll be dangerous because that means the system is centralized and vuln against hacking.

If it is just the password that you lost but you still have the private key or the json file saved somewhere you have not lost anything you can restore your access to the wallet using metamask for example

No, myetherwallet doesn’t store your password for Json file or private key. Users are responsible to keep these data in a safe place. I hope your losses are small.

One of the features of cryptocurrency wallets is that you cannot recover your password if it is lost. So this should be a good lesson for you. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place so that this situation does not happen again in the future.

MyEtherwallet has no feature of password recovery. Before you create your account, they have given you time to store your private keys and etc. for you not to forget your account. They also reminded you that you also save your password so that you cannot forget. I am sorry to say that you cannot recover your password.

If the only thing you miss is the password you can still access your MEW if you have private key and keystore. But as a owner you should be responsible of your account so as advise, kindly save your important information.

From December 3, hackers began to massively scan the Ethereum network in search of vulnerable mining equipment and electronic wallets. in connection with this user cryptocurrency can be more careful.

There is no forgot password in this Myetherwallet.
It is better to save those information on notepad (multiple).
Private key is one of the primary thing to access the wallet, you should save that too.

If you are using myetherwallet, your need to use password will be nil! You really do not need password to unlock your wallet with mew since your coin is not saved on any server, mew only give you access to interact with  ethereum blockchain, your password is onpy needed to rap your private key of which you can decide not yo use password!

If you lost your password,  there is no way you can retrieve it.  You are the only one responsible for the key.  It is better you write the private key somewhere in a notebook before you lose it.

If you forgot your password, that's fine as long as you keep your private key.  Because among those two between password and private key is much more important than to it. if you remember the time you created an address on your MEW there is a password creation then you need to download the key file and next was private key which is you need to save and keep it, right?

Really?! Sorry body no one will help you unless you have used a very stupid password and it could be brootforced, than somebody already took care of your funds

I believe you saw these warnings during the creation of your wallet that the system does not keep your password. The only option is to try to locate your private keys.

There are several ways to access tokens stored in MEW, including through the saved Json file at the time you create your wallet. When you access MEW with the Json file, you are prompted for the password you entered when creating the wallet. If you have lost your password, you can still access the wallet through your private key that the MEW provides when you create a new wallet.

I usually don't use access with file and I am not sure if it is a common way to unlock mew and idex.
I prefer private key or metamask.
For me it is more easy way

If you mean that you have lost your private key from the wallet, then no way to restore access to your money no longer exists, because a private key is the only thing that can give you the ability to manage your money and if you lost it - this means that you are have no more any way to get your money back.

When you created your wallet using mew you should save your password for keystore file and private key. Without password you can't access the keystore file. But if you saved your private key everything is good, then. 

There is no password, only the private key used to access Mew You. if you don't have or reserve it, it won't return your account. when you make mew, the preset is reserved first by writing the private key in the notebook

If you forget your password, you will not be able to enter your wallet. They don't have the "forgot password"feature. I'll say, or remember, or just forget about the coins you had in that purse.

This is more reason one needs to be very careful with every security details, because they are very essential.
I can't imagine someone who has huge amount of portfolio and now looses the security details of the wallet. Which means it is gone and cannot be access again.
Apart from the issue of not saving the security details, it should be saved on two different places: in a note and on flash drive.

You can't changed the password of MEW the only solution for that is to create new one and start again. If you still have your UTC file you can open it again remember when you create MEW account you have to download UTC file before you can get private key.

You do not need the password to the wallet as long as you have the private keys to the wallet, if you do not have those then you are going to have to get another wallet with new passwords which would mean that if you had any coins in the previous wallet then they are all gone and you are going to have to get new coins, which is bad

Recovery simply does not exist if you lose your private key, next time just in case print on paper and put in a remote corner, there is always a risk that the computer may something happens

You should have kept your private key. You can't recover password with your private key everything in your waller are accessible, i hope the value of what is stored in the wallet is not much.

I use the password and keystore file. I believe that this method is the safest because no one can get my file. even if someone knows my password, he will not be able to enter the wallet without a file

The most popular way to access to your Ethereum wallet through MyEtherWallet is using your private key, so if you forgot it and you do not have the other methods of access, it seems like you have lost your wallet.

you are giving wrong information. depending on how the account holder want to access MEW. if he is using keystore, He will need to further input the password which he has set for the account and this is what he is asking for here. i do not think you can retrieve your password but if you know the private key you can explore other options

the keystore is very safe but you should kept your private key to explore other options. your account is encrypted so you need password which you have set. probably you need to continuing try guessing your password

Sorry bro, unfortunately you lose to access your wallet unless you remember your private key or json file password. Next time, be more careful and don't forget to take notes. This is crypto.

If you forget your password which you use after downloading JSOn* file, it is not a proble, You can use your private key in order to log in without JSOn* file and password. Good luck, be more attentive.
