Move this thread to the Newbie Forum?

If you only have the public key (and nothing else!) then it is impossible to restore the private key. (If it were possible then everybody could access any address and crypto wouldn't work at all.

No, there is no easy way to do it. Although if you had a quantum computer then you could give it a shot!!!
Simple answer is that private keys can't be derived from wallet address, which is also known as public key. As coco23 mentioned above, if that could be done, then there was no point of blockchain and cryptos.

If you lost your private key you can't access your wallet as it is the only way to access the wallet but if you store it on your computer maybe you can find it again with recovery tools etc.

If you have json file and password you can access your mew address. If not, you lost it.
Try to find everywhere in your computer for two things: json file and Private key. Maybe you have saved it in somewhere.

It's impossible to recover your wallet if you lost both your privatekey and UTC/JSON file. I think you should forget about it although you still have token or ETH inside . Next time I think you should store all your important informations in a safe place to avoid losing like this time.

How did you lost it? and what is the format of the private key? As you don't store it in your mind and that probably lost in a digital place you have chance to find your private key.
