I tried to move some ada out of Daedalus and my password is incorrect.
So I decide to restore wallet from backup using my phrase.
All goes well until it says that - Wallet you are trying to restore already exists.
And I cannot proceed.
Where am I going wrong? I tried it using a new wallet name and the existing wallet name and ended up with the same error message.
Thanls
Hmm, are you restoring the wallet while it is already open in Deadalus? If so, delete your wallet first and then restore it. If you have acces to other secure pc/laptop, download Deadalus on it and restore it from there.
I have the same problem. Account already exists so I am unable to proceedâŚ
Wallet restore WORKS
Just managed to restore a wallet from seed ⌠Boy does it take some time.
Took nearly 48 hours to restore ⌠not kidding.
I used the Restore Wallet Option on a fresh install of the wallet, took about 24 hours to update the blockchain, then was able to restore the wallet from the seed phase.
When you restore the wallet youâre prompted for the wallet seed, wallet name, and optional password. Iâm assuming you can rename the wallet at this stage and enter a new password if you like, as youâre restoring from a seed. I actually used the old wallet name and password when restoring BTW, pretty sure you may not have too.
Then the wallet froze and got the dreaded âConnecting to networkâ message ⌠I left the machine running, around 48 hours later wallet was restored !
On previous attempts I shut down the wallet before it had finished restoring, this seems to screw everything up, and locks the wallet on âConnecting to Networkâ forever. DO NOT DO.
Then youâll have to reinstall the wallet and then try again, which takes a while.
To be honest, having oneâs wallet seed displayed for over 48 hours on a laptop, while the wallet was restoring isnât really ideal security wise ⌠Would be good to fix this issue.
So If you restore a wallet, make sure you can leave the machine running for 24 hours plus, my connection may be a fault here, but rest assured restoring wallets takes time, lots of it. Took me nearly 48 hours
Make sure you turn the âSleepâ setting off on your laptop/desktop if youâre going to restore a wallet. Your computer will need to be working for quite a long time !
Hope this helps.
Do think this will help if youâre trying to restore a wallet that already exists, think you may need to delete the wallet first, then restore.
I never backed my ada wallet but i do have my Passphrase:)âŚCan i still recover wallet and my coins in it?
This is unbelievable. 48 hours??? i loaded daedalus today on a new laptop. than i wrote in my seed and wallet name. Since thenâŚnothingâŚif i have to wait, why this f***ing sytem don´t tell me so? i see nothingâŚonly that i cannot do the same again.
i am really pissed with cardano!! Since two month i can´t acces my wallet. The IOHK âsupportâ is no support. They do not help me, the do not answer me. (âtechnical supportâ is working on it!!!= On what???
When i have my money back, i hope this day will come, i send the ADAs to an exchange and sell them.
In the second half of May thereâs gonna be new release - Daedalus 0.10.0 (on Cardano 1.2.0) - new version of the wallet will show the restoration progress, like this:
i tried today to Restore after installing the lastest ver 1.1.5813.
used a different wallet name but same pw and correct and correct phrase. all i see is
âWallet restore in progressâ
no percentage or anything. should i wait or retry the Restore?
Just wait and donât close Daedalus or computer. Will take few hours
iâm surprised, but it actually has just now showed my accnt-ADAâs. a little over ~3hrs i guess. great!!
thanks for your reply
Hi. Do you still have the Daedalus 1.1.5 installer? If yes, please let me know. I need to restore my Daedalus 0.11.2 wallet, but I lost the 12-word phrase⌠Thanks in advance
