Recovery cases

What can be recovered in each type of lost wallet access.

Choose your case

Nine situations, nine different technical paths.

If your situation combines more than one case (for example, a corrupted file that also asks for a password), start with the page that best describes the first obstacle.

01

Forgotten wallet password

You have the file, app or backup but cannot remember the password that unlocks it.

02

Forgotten passphrase

The seed is complete, but the 25th word that opens the right wallet is lost.

03

Incomplete seed phrase

Missing, wrong, unreadable or misordered words in the recovery phrase.

04

Bitcoin Core wallet.dat

File with a forgotten password, corrupted or from an old Bitcoin Core version.

05

MetaMask

Forgotten extension or app password, seed with an error or lost browser profile.

06

Ledger

Forgotten PIN, empty accounts after restoring or a 24 word phrase in doubt.

07

Trezor

Forgotten hidden wallet passphrase, lost PIN or incomplete Shamir Backup.

09

Inherited wallet

Material from the deceased owner and the legal documentation needed to recover.

Security and confidentiality

Your data is treated as the most sensitive asset in the process.

We minimize data collection for every case. Recovery attempts are performed offline on equipment controlled by Vault, with access restricted to the specialists responsible.

Never send a seed phrase, private key or password to someone who contacts you without your request. Always verify Vault Recovery's official channels.
