You can always recover your account to create a new wallet file and password as long as you have your seed phrase or private key. Here are the steps to recover from a backup:
-
Select “Create New Account” on the Galleon landing page
-
You will be prompted to create a new password to encrypt the wallet file
-
Then you will be prompted to name the wallet file and choose the location you would like to save it.
-
After this, you will be on a page called “Add an Account” and you can select the “Restore from Backup Tab” on the right where you can enter your seed phrase or private key.
-
If you have encrypted this seed phrase with a password you can toggle on that option. (note that this is different from the password used to encrypt a wallet file)
As a reminder, never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone.
