Hi All, I moved my Cardano from my old Byron Migrated wallet to a new Shelley wallet. I did set a new spending password. But that’s not working. I don’t have the recovery phase for the new Shelley wallet. But I do have the recovery phrase for the old byron migrated wallet. What are my options for recovery my ADA. I wish I never moved it to the new shelley wallet 😖 ---

> [@Emily-Ma](#): > > I don’t have the recovery phase for the new Shelley wallet Hi @Emily-Ma , - So you have moved your ADA to the new Shelley wallet right? - When you created the new wallet, did you write down the seed phrase (24-words)? - Try to remember and test again your spending password If you don’t have the seed phrase, you could not create a new spending password. So, what I suggest is trying again your spending password at the moment (try lots of combination that you remember). Hope you can successfully find the spending password, then just create a new Shelley wallet (write down the seed phrase) & move your ADA to the new wallet. Good luck! ---

Hi Andre, When I created the shelley wallet I did not see a place where it every asked me to write down the keys. I assumed it would have been same as Byron. I entered the same pending password as my old Byron Wallet. It is just not working. I am very good about security with my crypto. What are my options? There are no ways to reverse Cardano back to the Byron wallet? A way to retrieved the keys from my computer ? Thanks for the help. ---

Hello Emilly Everytime when a new wallet is created byron or shelley daedalus provides u the seed words (for shelley is 24 seed words)… then it ask u to write again the seed words… so are u sure u didn’t saw the seed words for the shelley wallet? after this step they ask for the name of the wallet and spending password; Indeed if u have a hardware wallet like trezor or ledger no seed words is require/provided Without the spending password u will can’t transfer ur ADA; u can reset the spending password only with seed words So yeah, try the spending password maybe few characters were mixed… maybe a space… maybe the keyboard language was in another language, etc Cheers, ---
