Electrum Wallet Recovery – How to Prepare Your Files
Forgot your Electrum wallet password? We specialize in secure, offline recovery of encrypted Electrum wallets. Follow the steps below to prepare your files and request a free, no-obligation assessment.
What We Need
- Your Electrum wallet file (e.g.,
default_walletor your custom wallet name). - Password hints (see the checklist below).
- (Optional) The Electrum version you last used.
We never need your seed phrase or private keys for password recovery.
Where to Find Your Wallet File
WindowsC:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets\
macOS~/Library/Application Support/Electrum/wallets/
Linux~/.electrum/wallets/
If you use multiple profiles, look for the wallets folder inside your Electrum data directory.
How to Prepare & Send Files (Secure)
- Copy the wallet file from the path above to your Desktop.
- Compress it to
.zipor.7zand set a temporary password for the archive. - Submit the inquiry on our inquiry page. We will reply with a one-time, secure upload link for your encrypted archive. Please do not email files.
- Provide as many password hints as possible (see checklist below). The better the hints, the higher the chance of recovery. With good hints, we can also estimate the time required for cracking attempts and give you a realistic outlook.
Offline only: All recovery attempts are performed on isolated systems. We start with an independent assessment—no commitment required.
Password Hints Guide (What Helps Most)
- Length (exact or range): e.g., “8–10 characters”, “exactly 12”.
- Character sets used: lowercase/UPPERCASE, digits, symbols (which ones?).
- Patterns: Capitalized word + 2 digits, ends with
88, starts with initials, etc. - Words you reuse: names, nicknames, brands, pets, places.
- Dates or numbers: birthdays, anniversaries, memorable years; format used (
DDMMYYYY,YYYY, etc.). - Typical endings:
!,!!,123,2020, etc. - Language/keyboard: non-English letters, specific layouts (QWERTZ/QWERTY), frequently used symbols.
Even small details help us narrow the keyspace dramatically—saving time and improving your success odds.
Independent Assessment: Please consider this as an independent assessment of your recovery problem. Submitting your case does not commit you to any service or payment.
Privacy: Your files are handled confidentially and are not shared with third parties. We only use them to evaluate your recovery request.
