Sometimes, your funds will become stuck - you will have some locked funds that never become unlocked. This is how you fix it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Load your wallet in monero-wallet-cli.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Type
|
||
|
|
||
|
> seed
|
||
|
|
||
|
into the command prompt. Write down your 25 word seed, if you haven't already. This is the best way to make sure you don't loose access to your funds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Close monero-wallet-cli by typing
|
||
|
|
||
|
> exit
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Backup all of your wallet related files. These include:
|
||
|
|
||
|
> yourwalletname.bin
|
||
|
> yourwalletname.bin.keys
|
||
|
> yourwalletname.bin.address.txt
|
||
|
|
||
|
This can be done by copying the files to a new folder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sometimes, when creating your wallet, you might have named it something without the .bin part. In that case, the wallet file will be called yourwalletname without the .bin at the end.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Delete yourwallet.bin
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Load monero-wallet-cli, type in the name of the wallet you just deleted
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Enter password. The wallet will now refresh and hopefully your locked funds will now become unlocked.
