I don't have the wallet.dat anymore bud I'll give it a few true are what happens worst case worse learn from your mistakes and time to buy  a usb for my back ups

I'll double check now how many chars I wrote down and retry the key also I did have the .dat on my usb after having to reset my win 10 had to use that usb thought maybe the private key and pass c would have done it the key is 52 chars long so if anything I might be typing it wrong be a bloody fun challenge to keep going are what keys wrong  and one last question is this the right thing as well to double check debug console inportprivkey L5.....ends in M do i need to add anything after the key or just hit enter

I used bit coin core went to the wallet.dat folder and unsure how I opened it but it does start with L, I'm slightly new to this still but I write the key down caps and none caps and I now the encrypted pass code I used as well anything else I need to now bud and thank you so much for the help
 I think the key was from ether either a console command from debug window or file viewer but think the file viewer wouldn't show me the props format

So i downloaded bit core got me some coins all been going l until today when I've had to reset my pc I do have my private key and password I made written down but when i go to import key says invailed format -5
