  • Thank you. I have installed the new 3.1 wallet.

    I am following the instructions at the link below to recover my wallet from an old seed:

    After entering in both the old password and the old seed I get the following. Can you suggest a next step?

  • Update -

    I uninstalled and reinstalled my wallet and was finally prompted to enter in my seed. It appears to have accpeted my seed, but I get the following when I enter in my password (and the wallet shows 0 coins - there should be just over 500). But I'm using the password I created originally so not sure why it's not working here.

    "error when calling /wallet/unlock: provided encryption key is incorrect"



  • And now here is (hopefully) my final update. When i was asked for my password, it was suggested that I try entering in my seed instead. So I did. And Voila! My coins have shown up in my wallet.



  • I have tried 3 times from 3 different pc's and it doesnt take the password nor seed supplied and says wallet locked. What can I do now to unlock the wallet and retrieve a new adress? I have all the info, it just doesnt take it.
