Yes, that’s the method I use for my Mac though I just delete a file called ‘open.lock’ but I don’t restart I just open the wallet and all good again for a period of time.
I’ve had to do it twice now and works fine afterwards.
I’ve got a question you may know the answer to and that’s on the wallets private key. I think some people are using private key and recovery phrase synonymously. My understanding is that the private and public keys work together to create your transaction and in addition your private key is like an account or ledger of the ADA you hold and if all else fails then you can use the private key to restore your funds into another wallet. I understand the 12 word recovery phrase does this too or are the two linked in some way?
If you are able to generate your private key I’ve not seen anywhere on he wallet to follow so.
