Hi @Tommylam8 , you can try and see if there's another wallet.dat and restore from there. if you did not specify where you saved your wallet.dat, there should be additional backups here:

On Windows: DeFi Blockchain folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\DeFi Blockchain\wallets\

On Mac: Blockchain folder
 /Users//Library/Application Support/Defi/wallets/

Guide on how to Restore Wallet from Backup. *Please do not delete anything you're unfamiliar with.
