Troubleshooting Tips
- Mnemonic Error: Verify the phrase’s correctness. If errors persist, consult this guide.
- Address Mismatch: If the imported wallet address differs from your backup, the credentials may be incorrect. Cross-check using another wallet.
Critical:
- Keystore passwords match the transaction password at export time. Always re-export Keystore after password changes.
FAQs

- Manual recovery is impossible. Store backups securely and legibly.
2. How to fix Ethereum private key errors?
Ensure:
- The key is 64 characters long.
- It uses only
