Once private key is lost, there is nothing you can do to access the wallet. Always write down and keep your private key in a safe place.

Guys what will happen if you accidentally lost the copy of your private key?..it's still possible to transfer your tokens to your other wallet using your wallet address..?? Does anyone know?..thanks in advance

You will not be able to use the bitcoin you have if your private key is lost, that's the same as you lost bitcoin. For that keep your private key in a safe place.

This is exactly why it necessary to always keep a save we record of your private keys. Keys are like your account number. In the visual world or banking system I mean , you can approach the bank to retrieve your account number but as as blockchain is concerned, once lost can not be recovered. Keep it save always.

No one will be able to access your wallet if you lose PK, and no one can help you to access your wallet again if your PK is lost
How to prevent it and what about hot wallets? Can you give me an advice?  Yesterday my PC broke up and I don't know what to do now((

 I think theres no way you can transfer your fund or token if you dont have your private key unless you backup it or you have the jason file...i think the jason file is the support of private key because it will required everytime you create a wallet

As far as I know, there is no way to recover your coins if you have lost your private key. You can try hacking the wallet through brute force method, but I don't think that it will be of any use. My advice would be to forget about the coins and move on.

If the secret key to the MyEtherWallet wallet is lost, where tokens are stored, you can access them using the Keystore file, which is created simultaneously with the generation of the secret key when creating a purse. There are no other options.

That's the hardest part when you lost your private key, why you should not communicate the staff in what wallet you have. They able to answered you question regarding with your problem. If the email was fully verified hopefully you can retrieved it by password recovery or so ever. This is give lesson to him not only by him i'm talking about us. Because of that we must print private key i a sheet of paper then keep it safe because we are the responsibility who keep our private key safe.

lose your private key, you have lost all the coins in the wallet
no one can access your wallet, can say your wallet will be lost and its contents, forever

Might be lost for now but not forever  wait until quatum computers become cheap enough for people to buy Smiley

"Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are thought to be secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As of 2017, this is not true for the most popular public-key algorithms, which can be efficiently broken by a sufficiently large hypothetical quantum computer."

You forgot to quantify then when quantum computing does hit the scene on the magnitude order to decrypt it, cryptography (at its current state) will be defunct (even the so-called quantum resistant cryptography which is like closing a sliding mesh screen door to keep a bad guy out) all blockchain in its current incarnation will be utterly worthless so what will be the point?

I have been working on cryptography for 10 years, I see the true gold in blockchain tech, I do.  I have been trying to write an algo for 2 years now that is truly quantum-proof.  The pricinple is the cryptographic blockchain must change when looked at that way everytime it is looked at or accessed it has changed rendering quantum computers and any hacker or government entity UTTERLY useless against it. 

OBVIOUSLY the level the computers are at now-a-days its pointless to deploy this because moving coins around would take years due to computing speeds what they are at now (could you imagine downloading a entirely new blockchain to your computer every transaction at 10000tx per second)??

Just because current tech prevents it doesn't mean the cryptography isn't worth creating, plus its fun if you're into that sort of thing

Oh! this is exactly what happened to a friend of mine. He bought when the price was very low, in 2011 and now he can not find his PK...I think it is a lost cause

if it happens there will be problems because the assets of the wealth and others are in the wallet so if lost can be very harmful so I better copy my private key by printing to paper and save it

If you lost your private key then it only means that you cannot recover it again since all the missing bitcoins in the market is because of lost private keys and unrecovable passwords from different exchangers so you should always create a copy of it where you can find it easily.

If you lose your private key then there's simply no way for you to get access to your private wallet again. You won't be able to transfer your crypto from your wallet to any other wallet so always keep backup of your private wherever it's possible be it your pc, mobile, cloud, etc .

It is imposible for you to transafer your tokens to other wallet using your wallet address. If you have downloaded your wallet, then use the keystore files to access it. Lost private key is a serious issue if you have stored a lot of tokens in that wallet, so neglegence is you problem and next time be sure to keep you pk in a safer place to prevent loss.
