How can I restore wallet from secret.key file? #1234
Comments
Hi @yuelipeng, This is going to be a bit tricky but here's what you need to do:
Hope this heps! :) |
@yuelipeng I have originally posted wrong links to the previous Daedalus installers - please use the ones from my comment which I have now updated. Thanks! |
@yuelipeng did you have a spending-password set for this wallet of yours? |
@nikolaglumac yes, password protected. |
@yuelipeng so the problem is your wallet's |
@yuelipeng did you save any other files from the state directory besides the |
@yuelipeng unfortunately, there is no easy way to extract a |
@cleverca22 when will this extraction util app be done, you can just build a command line tool to decode. |
This is what I need because when I instaled the new daedlus instance year after this instance used wallet that I don't have password for it so it never asked me for 12 words phrase to write down, I have sen't funds and downloaded paper wallet instuctions I tought that was it but money is now stuck in old wallet from what I don't have a password or phrase |
that is it, with decryption we could see our wallet password and send it to another wallet |
OMG I found my old 12 word phrase now, lucky as hell |
@webmacho writing down your 12 words recovery phrase during wallet creation is the most important step. Having those 12 words protects you from all potential issues - it can save you even if you forget your spending-password. It is very unfortunate that you forgot this phrase...
I believe you did not understand the paper-wallet feature. The idea behind it is that Daedalus generates a new wallet (which is in no way connected to any of the existing wallets you have in Daedalus) and then you can send ada from your other wallets to the wallet address listed on the paper wallet PDF. Anyways, in order to recover your wallets from the ...and then follow these steps: Using Daedalus "Wallet importer" tool
This will resolve your issues too @yuelipeng. Good luck! |
@nikolaglumac thanks for the improvement. But after i selected the secret.key, it shows "Wallet could not be imported, please make sure you are providing a correct file". i didn't modified the file. |
@yuelipeng I believe you used the "Import dialog" from the "Add wallet" screen and this is not something you can do with the "secret.key" file. |
@nikolaglumac ok, my fault, restoration is in progress, thanks. |
@nikolaglumac thanks, it's already recovered. |
Wonderful news @yuelipeng 🎉 |
Thank you guys for your work. You helped me get my money back! |
Now a day, Yoroi should be able to restore a wallet from a Daedalus un-encrypted master key. Thanks |
any possibility how to recover wallet from secret.key ? |
nikolaglumac, I tried to download the app you referenced below but the link is dead and I am trying your solution to recover my wallet.
|
@sohosynergy the links have probably expired... |
Links are not working....can you provide us with other working links? |
My story....i upgraded to a bigger hard drive and install new windows operating system on the new hard drive...then i connect the old one to transfer all my files and when i look at the files on my old hard drive i can see all the scrennshot .png files in there but i can't open it. |
The links above not working... there's any way we can restore Daedalus with the secret key file. |
The problem is still actual. Need to recover my secret.key to. Please update links above (Windows version). Thanks a lot! |
Thank you. # 1234 I saw everything, but there was no solution.

Hi, I am reaching out with almost similar problem. I have lost the spending password and the key phrase -daedalus wallet- byron. Can anything be done to retirieve the funds out of that wallet that it has been set up around 17-2018? I can see the funds on my laptop, I have the secret.key but I have no other information that would allow me to transfer the funds from this wallet to another. The password I've created is very long and has had a variety of characters that would be impossible to remember even if I tried 3 months straight to dig and remember. Is iohk foundation able to help or is anything in the making to help retrieve these locked funds for all users? An answer would be greatly appreciated thanks ! |
Pls contact our service desk https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000877653-Daedalus-Mainnet |
There is no tópic about losing all passwords. Been in this situation for years now. No help whatsoever |
I have hundreds of thounsends of dollars trapped in my Open wallet and no help Will Come friend. This is a very sad situation |
Any news about this? I'm a developer and I would like to contribute. Please let me know if there is a way I can help |
Also looking for a solution for só long now... |
I am sure there's a solution for every problem. Iohk foundation must do something for the sake of it's community. For the past 3 years I've read a lot about people like me that lost their funds due to different incidents and due to the rush in the market I can understand that such minor problem in the eyes of iohk foundation is not as important. But as time passes, the foundation must and shall dedicate to themselves to come up with something solve this issue. Cardano is not Terra Luna, and Charles Hoskinson is not Do Kwon. This can't go just like that, as a matter fact you definitely take and lead by example as other projects lead the market if that is the overall goal. |
@serjikc with all respect, the problem here is not about an incident. It's about someone forgetting their passphrase. We have a dedicated team that filter this kind of requests so please contact our service desk here: https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000877653-Daedalus-Mainnet |
That is not completely true. At least in my case, it is about a wallet exported to a file in 2017, which is not being recognised by the current Daedalus wallet recovery feature. I forgot my recovery seed, but I perfectly remember my passphrase. I am simply asking if there are any news on this and, if not, if there is a way for me to contribute in solving this backward-compatibility issue. |
I was just hoping to see some sort of update since these messages. Not necessarily a solution, but at least knowing that the issue is being worked out |
@endlessbux, unfortunately, the colleagues who were trying to help you with the corrupted secret.key could not find any solution. Besides they don't work at IO anymore. Our colleges in the service desk are already in touch with some people that actually are reporting the same problem and with the exact same secret.key. I can't really do anything from the Daedalus Team side. please contact the service desk. |
No One can do anything! And no One Cares |
That is not true, a lot of time was spent here. And I am writing you in my weekend even! Sorry for being direct with you, but you should ALWAYS save securely your recovery phrase |
I gave up on 50 Grand

My case is similar @danielmain I had my information saved on a flashdrive the spending password and the seed) - someone has erased the flash drive. - Now I have access to the desktop wallet with the funds but I am not able to transfer from the account to a new wallet due to missing password and seed. I have the secret key file but that doesn't do anything other than just recover the wallet with the funds in it but can't retrieve the funds due to the missing password and or seed. |
Program version did you open secret file keywords every time I try to open
the secret key files it tells me it's invalid I have my password

I'll try to reach the service desk once again, but the last time I contacted them one year ago they couldn't solve this problem. Could you please direct me to the portion of code which used to generate the backup file? I just find it very much disappointing that the Daedalus Team included this feature which actually turns out to not work at all. At least I would like to see if I can manage to deal with this by myself, considering the file is not corrupted and I remember my spending password. Apologies for being direct but this lack of backward-compatibility caused me to lose my funds. |
Lost dar more than 50 grande friend and watched all my investment Lost during years of mental illness. Asking every chat you fórum or the support for Help and all people Will have say is "you should not lose the seed phrase" |
I am starting a collaborative effort as part of CardanoSolutions/ByronWalletRecovery, trying to centralize all the existing knowledge, tools and content about this issue. If some have time and are interested in solving this, I encourage you to join and participate. |
@danielmain if you can forward this to the current support team to let them know 🙏 and possibly, let them redirect people to this repository once they've identified that they might be affected by this mysterious issue. |
I don't know how to help I'm One of the Many that Lost os passwords and regrets ir everyday. Too much as been Lost to me. If someday this issue can bem helped or solved this would Change my life |
The restored Byron wallet does not contain the "policy_id" required to reference the asset and is missing metadata information. Therefore, I think that a remittance error is displayed. Is there a way to fix this? It is an error code at the time of remittance↓↓↓ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cacert "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/tls/client/ca.crt" [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (MissingVKeyWitnessesUTXOW (WitHashes (fromList [KeyHash "ffea5f425e90※※4463d2232"]))))])) AlonzoEraInCardanoMode"}% |
Will I ever bem able to recover my Lost ADA? |
Is there any solution for people like us who Lost all password. Me like Many other also. I have the secret file and all backup files of the deadalus wallet |
@Dragovioon the only "solution" is brute-forcing the password. But if your password was strong enough, this is likely hopeless. |
Thanks.... |
cardano-sl-subset inspect-keystore thank you |
when i heard 0.12 version has low disk usage, i just copy my secret.key out, i thought it is the keystore like ethereum. then i delete the old 0.11.2 version's daedalus folder。 when i finished sync of 0.12, i copy secret.key into Secrets-1.0 folder, it can't identify.
i lost my 12 words phase unfortunately。so how can i restore wallet from secret.key file, please.
