Hello,
I had made a Daedalus wallet back in 2017 and didn’t really use it much except to update the desktop app or stake.
I would like to withdraw these assets now and I have come to an embarrassing end. I thought I had set this up with my ledger nano but apparently I didn’t. I have no idea what the 15 word phrase is and I forgot the password. Well I could find the password, I could give it a couple hours one day and copy paste all the passwords I’ve used since then so hopefully I figure it out. I’m just wondering if I had a “usual” password I would use in 2017 with 10 characters in it because that might’ve caused me to put something completely random especially if I thought I was using my ledger device the whole time…
I would appreciate the help with these two questions please:
-
my AppData Daedalus folder (roaming) does have a “wallets” folder BUT I don’t see the .secret file or Secrets-1.0 folder I’ve found while researching about this topic. In the wallets folder, I see a couple files named “she.495…SQLite-shm” and “she.495…SQLiTe-wal”. Could these in fact be my “secret key” files?
Is this maybe because I did in fact store it on my ledger and that’s the reason it’s not showing up? -
Any work arounds if I do have to crack my spending password?? I know the character amount because I have a screenshot of it it’s just asterisked out but if there’s a work around for: not knowing 15 word key and not knowing the spending password BUT only have the AppData folder, I’m all ears
Now, I am medium “tech-savy” so I already tried ledger troubleshoots with restoring from original 24 word key and connecting to a new Daedalus app and trying to re-sync.
This all came up because I was restoring my computer and I have a full HDD backup with like every Windows files, AppData etc…
Thanks my fellow Cardanians lol
