If you can no longer get into a wallet that’s yours — a forgotten password, a seed phrase with a few words missing, or a wallet file that’s been deleted, corrupted or left on a failing drive — there’s often a way back in. We work only for the rightful owner, recover or repair the wallet data, and help rebuild access where enough information survives.

If you’ve lost access to your own wallet, stop trying random passwords — too many attempts can lock some wallets for good — and if the wallet file was on a drive that’s failing or was deleted, stop using that drive. Gather whatever you do remember: old passwords, partial seed words, the wallet software, any backups. One warning: we can only help the rightful owner back into their own wallet. We can’t reverse blockchain transactions or recover crypto sent to a scammer or the wrong address, and anyone who promises to get your stolen crypto back is almost certainly a scam. And if a scammer contacts you claiming you’re owed crypto but must pay a fee to release it, that too is a scam — report it to the police.
Wallet access tends to go one of a few ways — and where enough survives, there’s often a route back in. These are the cases we can sometimes help with.
Crypto recovery is riddled with false promises. Here’s the truth: where enough of your own wallet survives, we can often help — but some things genuinely can’t be done, by anyone.
If you were scammed, or sent crypto to the wrong address, no legitimate service can reverse it — and anyone who says they can is running a second scam. We only ever help the rightful owner back into their own wallet, and we tell you the odds honestly before any work.
We work with the main wallet software and file formats, across the major coins. If your wallet or its file is recoverable, the make and the coin rarely matter.
Desktop and software wallets · wallet.dat and keystore files · BIP39 seed phrases · paper and backup wallets · the major coins and tokens.
Wallet recovery starts with confirming the wallet is yours and being honest about the odds. We recover or repair the wallet data, then help rebuild access from whatever information survives — never by guessing blindly or touching anyone else’s wallet.
Talk us through what’s gone and what you’ve still got. We verify the wallet belongs to you, weigh up what remains, and give you a straight answer on whether recovery is realistic.
If the wallet file is deleted, corrupted or on a failing drive, we image the drive and recover or repair the wallet.dat or keystore first.
We establish exactly what there is to work with — a partial seed, a remembered password pattern, an old backup — and what’s missing.
Where enough remains, we piece access back together — filling in a partial seed through its valid combinations, or working a password back out from the hints you can give us.
We confirm the recovered wallet opens and that you, the owner, are in control. Your keys and funds stay yours throughout.
We hand the recovered wallet and access details back securely and privately, then wipe our copies afterwards.
If the information genuinely isn’t there to recover access, we tell you straight rather than charging for the impossible.
For the rightful owner, we work to restore access to a wallet that’s theirs — retrieving or repairing the wallet file, and piecing access back together from a part-remembered password or an incomplete seed, whenever enough of it remains.
Tell us what happened and we’ll get back to you, usually within a working day.
We’ll be in touch shortly. If it’s urgent, call 0191 406 1051.
No hidden charges, no upfront fee to chase the impossible — just a free assessment and a quote in writing before any work begins.
A handful of recent wallet recoveries. Details kept deliberately vague and private.
We imaged the drive, carved out and repaired the wallet.dat, and it opened on the owner’s own password. Back in, keys untouched.
We reconstructed the valid seed from the words the owner had, checked it against the wallet, and restored access.
Using the pattern and characters the owner remembered, we recovered the password and opened their wallet. No guesswork beyond their own hints.
The owner’s hardware wallet was failing and two recovery words were unclear. We reconstructed the valid seed phrase and restored the wallet to a new device. Access restored.
Send the device in for its free diagnostic and tell us briefly what happened; an engineer reviews it and confirms your exact quote in writing before anything starts.
Getting your data back begins with getting the device to us. Pack it up safely, pop your contact details inside, and send it over — once we’ve run the free diagnostic, we’ll confirm your exact price in writing before any work starts.
Posting it? A tracked, insured service is what we’d recommend. Rather drop it in? You’re welcome Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm — just package the device up as above first.
Want a bit more detail first? Fill in the form with more about your issue and an engineer will review it and send you a custom quote.
We’ll be in touch shortly. If it’s urgent, call 0191 406 1051.
The things people most often ask us about cryptocurrency wallet recovery.
Sometimes — it hinges entirely on what’s left to work with. A deleted, corrupted or failed-drive wallet file can often be recovered or repaired. Part of a seed phrase, or a half-remembered password, can often be enough for us to rebuild access. But if it’s all genuinely gone, with nothing to build on, then in all honesty nobody can.
No — and this matters. Blockchain transactions can’t be reversed, and no legitimate service can recover crypto that was sent away or stolen. Anyone promising to get scammed or transferred crypto back is almost certainly running a scam. We only help owners regain access to their own wallets.
Often, if you remember something about it: its length, some characters, or how you usually build passwords. We use what you remember to recover it. We don’t blindly crack strong, completely unknown passwords — that isn’t realistically possible and we won’t pretend otherwise.
Frequently. When just a handful of words are missing, misspelt or jumbled, the structure of a seed phrase often gives us enough to work out the valid one and get you back in. The more words you’ve got, the better your chances.
Yes — that’s straight data recovery. We image the drive, pull the wallet.dat or keystore file back and repair it as needed, so it opens once more in your wallet software under your own credentials.
Never share your full seed phrase or private keys with anyone you’re not sure of — that’s how a lot of crypto is stolen. For file recovery we don’t need them. Where we’re reconstructing a partial seed or password, we explain exactly what we need and why, and you stay in control.
A fair question. We’re a long-established Newcastle data recovery business with a real address and phone number; we assess first and tell you honestly whether recovery is realistic; we never ask for upfront fees to recover stolen funds, because that isn’t something we can help with; and we only quote where we genuinely think we can help.
Only wallets you own. We confirm ownership before doing any work, and we won’t attempt to access a wallet that isn’t yours. Recovering someone else’s wallet without their authority is something we won’t do.
The main software wallets and file formats — Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Exodus, MetaMask and others, wallet.dat and keystore files, and BIP39 seed phrases — across the major coins. The wallet and coin rarely change whether the data itself is recoverable.
Often, if it’s yours and you still have your recovery seed — those words restore your wallet to a new device, so a forgotten PIN or a broken Ledger or Trezor usually isn’t the end. If the seed is partly lost we can often rebuild it; if it’s completely gone the options are very limited and depend on the device. We’ll always tell you honestly what’s realistic, and we only work on a hardware wallet that’s yours.
The assessment is free. Wallet recovery is then quoted per case, depending on what’s lost and what survives, and we only quote where recovery is realistic. You get a written quote before any work, with no upfront fee to chase the impossible.
Yes — bitcoin wallet recovery in the honest sense: retrieving wallet.dat files, keys and seed backups from failed drives, phone memory cards, USB sticks and old computers. Charged as bench work with a written quote, never as a percentage of the balance. What no one can honestly offer: breaking a wallet whose password and seed are both genuinely gone.
A free assessment, an honest answer on the odds, and recovery of your wallet file or access where enough survives — for the rightful owner only. Talk to us today.
