1) My laptop that had my Armory wallet on it has been stolen.  However, I have a paper back-up which  details: Wallet Version / Wallet ID / Wallet Name / Backup Type / Root Key (18 sets of four-letters - on 2 lines - 9 sets on each line).
2) I have tried to sweep this into a new Armory wallet on my pc - I insert the 72 letters of the Root Key into the given space but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?  I should be most grateful if someone could help.  Many thanks in anticipation.

Many many thanks for responding but, not to worry, I have worked out how to do it.  Thanks once again Grin

Make sure you sweep (move) funds to a new wallet.  Just in case the thief gains access to your old wallet.

If you liked this post buy me a beer.  Beers are quite cheap where I live!
