Restoring an overwritten Brave installation and a Nami wallet plugin within that #887

Open revelling opened 11 months ago

revelling commented 11 months ago

The issue is this:

My son accidentally lost the installation of his Windows 10. He overwrote it with a new Windows 10 installation.

Along with the old installation there was a Brave browser with Nami wallet plugin. And now it seems he has lost the seed phrase to the wallet he had opened in that particular Nami wallet plugin. He still has the password though, so our only hope now is to restore and access the Brave and Nami plugin as they we're.

Question: if I manage to restore the old installation with Testdisk (Photorec) then

  1. Which files should I look for
  2. How to I start the old installation of Brave along with the Nami wallet
  3. Is all of the above just hopeless waste of time? :)

Thanks in advance. -saturnine-

This is a scam, do not enter your seedphrase

Yeah I know, thanks. Too bad original poster cannot delete/report replies here. I blocked that account, all I can do I guess.
