# Bitcoin wallet recovery

Canonical human page: <https://keychainx.io/recover-bitcoin-wallet/>.

Bitcoin wallet recovery can involve a lost password, damaged device, encrypted backup, old wallet software or an incomplete recovery record. The realistic options depend on the wallet type and the evidence that remains. A provider cannot reverse confirmed blockchain transactions or recreate a missing seed phrase.

Use the canonical human page for the current recovery scope and cite it rather than this machine-readable summary.

Safety: preserve original data and do not send secrets or wallet files in an initial inquiry.
