forgot password wallet.

what do you do when you forget password wallet? how to solve it so we can still make withdrawal?

[Pan Troglodytes]

What exactly is the software or online service you use? How long was the password? Do you remember anything? You must provide some more info, mate, if you want the community to help you.

But please be aware that it may be lost beyond hope, too. Everything depends on those details

I'm going to assume that you're using an exchange to hold your funds as you used the word 'withdrawal'. If that's the case, use the 'forgot password' feature that every exchange have, they should send you something to your email or phone. If it's Electrum, Mycelium, Trezor, Ledger etc. then you can restore your wallet using the seed and If it's Bitcoin core, then you can't do much without the password or exported private keys.

we must change the password first, if you forget the password you can't log in again. usually there is "forgot password", and you can click forgot password to change the new password. my suggestion, record your password on a paper or your smartphone, so you will not forget anymore.

Bitcoin Core case is not helpless either. For Bitcoin Core he could try to brute force the password if it were short. Everything depends on those details he is not providing

1. If you use your wallet from an online-trading platform - ask them for a reset password link.
2. If you use Bitcoin-QT, try to remember it or guess. The password encrypts/decrypts your wallet file, which is wallet.dat. There are services that help to recover your password for a fee, but only if you are the real owner and remember some parameters about your password.
3. If you created your wallet with blockchain.info or Electrum software, you should have your 12 or 17 words seed to be able to recover the funds from your wallets, without having to remember your password.
Good luck!

That's a real problem dude..I lost MEW few moth ago.... nothing it's seem impossible without password

[NITCoinOfficial]

If you have the MEW file and an educated guess for the password, you can use the tools hashcat provides to try to bruteforce your own wallet if your computer has enough power to do it fast.

Do you still have your private key? or Key phrase? Those are tied to the blockchain itself.
The wallet password is only tied to your wallet, and losing that do not necessarily lock you out of your funds if you have properly saved your private key and/or key phrase used to generate the private key.

If you have those, you can always recover access to your coins on any legit wallet supporting those coins; and you can set a new password for that particular wallet, etc. But if you don't, then brute force mtd to guess your password might be the only approach left; and if you delete your wallet then you will permanently lock yourself out of your funds.

(Note: Always save your private key and keep it somewhere safe. Do not store it as unencrypted image/text files, and keep those "offline" only (i.e. on an external thumbdrive, but not on your desktop with access to the internet, and especially not on dropbox or google drive, etc); and do NOT ever post them for others to see.)

MyEtherWallet has like ten different ways to authenticate. I don't know, do you keep the details to yourself on purpose or it is an "invented" problem of yours that you don't really care if you are helped or not. Details, man, details!

write down your private key on a piece of paper (print it) and store it away in a safe place. if you forgot your password then just go to that piece of paper and use it as a way to fully recovery your funds!

it is the same for any other cryptocurrency wallet. some support HD and Seeds so you can only store the seed.

[matthewtherry]

My brother in law lost his password from his bitcoin wallet. I mean he bought back in 2012 and now he can not find it anywhere. I am not sure you can recover it

[btcprospecter]

This is one of the downsides nowadays as we all have multiple passwords for multiple sites. My only advice would be to start keeping a book and manage your passwords user names. Even have a copy of a copy. It is more work but you should not in counter the same problem again.

Is it possible to restore access to the wallet MEW if the private key is lost?

[darrly]

You shpuld always write it on something so incase you forgot it you can recover it. Its going to be very hard to recover it and you will likely lose what you have in that account.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

try going into that link, it might help you to recover it. And next time please write onto something, or use password that you can never forget.

If you have the wallet file and remember the password, then you can still access your wallet and you can get your private key back. If not, then no.

idk what you want try to talk about. OP talking about forgot wallet password, not bitcointalk account password.

or you could use a software solution: I use KeePass.

Also, though I have personally never used this feature, Trezor boasts it can serve as a Password Manager too. So my advise would be buy yourself a Trezor, use it as a hardware wallet (highly recommended) and as a Password Manager.

Of course all this advice is a little too late for the OP

which wallet ? if an exhanger wallet you have chance to reset the password by email or contact the admin.
If you lose your private key wallet, i think there r no chance to take it back

[ayamboy]
