Metamask won't accept password... is it safe to reset it?

[coin-investor]

is the mycrytpo app only good of desktop? the problems with adding custom tokens is I have hundreds or super cheap crapcoins!!! I would sure love to use my metamask like it was if anybody else has any other ideas.  thank!

Everything will all be copy-paste for all the coins that are not showing in your panel and it will not take you an hour to do that, the worse thing that can happen is getting your private key or passphrase compromised. so be very careful to share your wallet details with anyone, it's better to use several wallets if you have a large portfolio.

As long as you've got the seed phrase, it's okay to reset your account. You won't lose any value on your wallet but the transaction log will be disappear.
This is the note from official metamask website.

Note: Before resetting, we recommend you download your state logs and send them to our support so we can troubleshoot the root cause. This process is irreversible, and not a common feature for most users. You will not lose value in your accounts. Developers may find it useful to reset a test network while continuing to use the same account. By doing so, MetaMask deems the network ID a clean network in a fresh state.

My Metamask won't accept my password and I know it is correct.  I have the seed phrase and the password I created to sign up for the metamask.  If I reset my wallet, is there a chance I would lose my coins? I can't have that.  Also, is the "password" different than the seed phrase,,, becaue it accepted this password before.. I didn't change it.
Before I could just reload the phone and it would ask for the face id and I would be good to go.... please advise if you know what to do or have been through this before.
thank you

It is safe until you know what you are doing.

At first, create a backup of your Metamask seeds and keep that in a safe place, if you go on without your seeds and failed to provide that recovery phrase during resetting you will get locked your account.

One more thing, make sure that if you have any exigent imported address or not. no matter you imported via seeds or private keys, Metamask won't store any manually imported data for you. When you resetting your pass, they just recover only the addresses that belong to your Metamask seeds. After resetting, you have to import your previously imported address again, manually. So before inception make sure that you have a backup of the necessary things then go on.

I dont care for your tone.  I came here asking or help. I thought my only problem was the password as well.  Sometimes lately the metamask loads new coins and adresses slowly.
Is there an authority to report this case to? If any of these coins go big do you understand these would be some of the largest financial crimes in HISTORY stealing people's coins?

thank you

you basically still have the original phrase, and I think you're one step away. on the other hand if we reset and still have the original phrase it will not lose the assets you have. try to sit for a moment and contemplate, sometimes we are not careful, for example we are missing one digit in copying

[ROGERTHAT777]

thank you andriato....this is a bit of a crisis for me.. has anyone on here done this and had it take overnight to load the coins? I have the right phrase.  I deleted and reloaded the wallet again, but no coins.  I have never and would never share the recovery phrase.

This is local password it's not the seed. The local password is only used to prevent people from accessing your wallet when you lose your device or go out. With password you can change it whenever you want.

Please check carefully again. Your seeds are absolutely correct and you really have not to share with anyone. With seed and private key you can log in and check your assets anywhere.

I entered it a thrid time still no coins.

First, I don't understand why metamask don't accept your password if it is correct. Sometimes, if you paste your password copying from a file, there is a problem like a space in the first. So try to fill the password manually.

Second, If you have created wallet from myetherwallet and connected with metamask, there is no need to be worried. You can create another metamask and connect again but if you have created account from Metamask directly and your password don't accept, you can't login to your metamask. If you already imported your metamask to trust wallet app, you can move your coins. So move your coins using from trust wallet. This is the easiest way of recovering your funds safely.

The seed phrase is the most important thing mate. Even you reset your wallet and you login again using your seed phrase through meta mask surely your main wallet will always appear in it. Perhaps you set password wherein using a mobile app and you forgot it right? because if you're using desktop it's only extension. So if i'm correct on that case it doesn't matter if you reset it as long as you have the seeds you can always recover your wallet and it's totally safe.

[imstillthebest]

why it wouldnt accept your password when you are sure to yourself that it was a correct password ?
maybe you got hacked and the hacker changed your password to a new one  .

.  If I reset my wallet, is there a chance I would lose my coins?

it seems you already loose your coins,  
what are you worrying for ? but resseting will empty your wallet but the coins will remain in your address and will re appear after you import your phrase or login with your password but you already attempted both and they are not working .
sorry bro but i can only advice is try to be more careful next time

[glendall]

in my experience the password is only for initial access, you enter metamax only
the most important thing that you should backup. phrases , private key. your own wallet if you lose these 2 things, your wallet is finished

[haasanjui]

Why it won't accept password? If it is not accepting password you can forget it if you not  you have secured private key or seed phase of your wallet it will recover if you not saved it then your wallet is finished and you can not access your account forever.

[cdog]

I dont think that metamask won't accepts you password if it is really correct, for sure you just entered the wrong password, maybe you already changed the password before and you just entered your previous password, anyway if you cant still access your wallet then you may reset your wallet, there is no possibility that your coins in your metamask will be gone if you do that thing.

I have experienced the same case with this problem, after updating the browser application the old password on metamask can no longer be accessed but that's not a problem, if you still have the seed phrase because it's an important key to access metamask, it's better if you have previously backed up . To avoid the case of losing the key of each account, I keep the private key of every wallet that has been used.

[ROGERTHAT777]

the metamask accetps the password, but the acount has no coins on it.  I never shared the seed phrase with anyone.

[ROGERTHAT777]

I have known others who have this same problem.  It's not the seed phrase or the password, it's the coins.  I am hopoing there is some software glitch or update if anyone hears anything let me know.  I suspect there are many others. I can't find the update? I believe I clicked on.

[BTC_Mouse]

Metamask wallet passwords not mandatory, Just important think store your private key or sheed phase access your wallet , you have your wallet private key or sheed phase of course obviously access your wallet,  just put your private key and create new meta mask wallet and access your wallet its ok

[noorman0]

I entered it a thrid time still no coins.

• Make sure the wallet you restored is the address that has your coins (better check it on etherscan or bscscan if it's a bep20/bsc token). If it's visible in explorer, it's unlikely it will disappear from your address. Otherwise, your wallet may have been hacked/compromised .
  
• Pay attention to the RPC network. Metamask default RPC is Ethereum network, you have to create new RPC if your coin supports other network.
• Sometimes you have to add the token list manually to make it visible in the metask.

First, restore your wallet to another computer or phone and check your wallet.
Many phones have double space, on Samsung it's Knox Samsung, which allows you to install the same app 2 times as if it were 2 different devices.
Do not rush to remove old programs without checking.

Does the problem still exist?

- Are you sure that you have downloaded the legit metamask extension wallet?
- After importing the seed phrase, have you been able to verify if it is the right account that contains your coins? Because most of the time, newbie tends to accidentally create multiple wallet account on a single seed phrase.
- Have you re-added the "contract address" of the coins you owned?

the problems with adding custom tokens is I have hundreds or super cheap crapcoins!!!

The problem with not adding them again after importing your seed phrase is that it will not reflect on your wallet. Go to coingecko, find the token you are holding, copy and paste the contract address.
