Is there any way at all to retrieve my spending password. I will gladly pay someone in Ada for helping me. I’m pretty sick to my stomach at the moment. Been accumulating since 2017.
Hello @Cameron_Kerr
To reset your spending password you need to have your seed phrase(s) or 24-27 word recovery…
If you don’t know recovery words/phrase then you can’t recover the wallet and restore your spending password.
Your spending password is used to encrypt your wallets secret key on your drive. So the spending password doesn’t actually exist anywhere on your computer. It is just a part of the formula used to encrypt/ decrypt your secret key so you can move the funds. So there is nothing to find/ retrieve regardless of how much ADA you offer.
If you can’t remember spending password at all, then your best course of action is to try and find the seed phrase, verify seed phrase , then restore your wallet. Remember to verify seed phrase before you restore your wallet, because if you get the seed phrase wrong and you erase the wallet then your ADA is gone for ever!
Good luck! 
What is going one?
Understood u forgot the spending password for your daedalus wallet?
It is a shelley or byron wallet?
It is a simple wallet or it is trezor/ledger wallet?
It is a Shelley wallet
If you forgot your spending password but still having your seed phrase, then delete/Remove your wallet and restore it again. Once you do that, it will ask you to enter a new spending password.
Then you will be good to go 
Do u have the 24 seed words?
I wrote the seed phrase down on on same paper I wrote the spending password. I cannot find that piece of paper
Hmm, so u have the wallet with ADA but u don’t remember the password… u will need to find that paper or try many passowords u can… should be min 10 characters if I remeber well
Try imputing all of the passwords that you’ve used on other sites you have joined. The good thing is that there are no time locks for incorrect guesses. Good luck!
Hi DevJohn:
Hope you’re still around. I have a couple issues; My old computer failed; I backed up/saved my Daedalus and hopefully all the wallets (two of `em, one Shelley, one Byron) and coins info. I restored Daedalus on a new computer.
- It pulled in one wallet(not sure how to tell whether it’s the Byron or Shelley) but not the other. Do you know what I need to do to find/pull in the second one?
- My spending p/w is not working on the one that was restored. I read your post on delete/remove the wallet and restore again. Makes me nervous, only because the second wallet was not restored when I put Daedalus on the new computer. Any words of wisdom? BTW, your group sounds a VERY COOL concept.
Hi Alex:
Another question; I have my seed phrase but am having an issue with the spending password I have written down - does it matter whether it’s a Byron or Shelley wallet, does that matter when one goes to restore the wallets in terms of procedure or ability to recover and access?
If you have the seed phrase, you do not need the spending password. Just restore the wallet and you will be asked to provide a new spending password.
