Unfortunately, if you don't have access to the private keys then you don't have access to the bitcoin they control. We don't have any access to anyone's private keys.

There are some options though. Please have a read of these help articles that provide useful background information:

https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_walletBackups.html https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_troubleshooting.html https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_lostOrForgottenPassword.html

In summary, this means that you will have to run some kind of data recovery software over your hard disk and look for a .wallet or .key file. Once found you can then use a fresh install of MultiBit Classic to open the wallet file, or import the key file, and recover your private keys.

To prevent this kind of problem happening in the future, we recommend that our users upgrade to MultiBit HD at their earliest opportunity. See this article for details:
