There's this old wallet I set up years ago that I'm locked out of now. Back in 2017 I threw some XRP into it, and honestly I've been trying to figure out how to get back in ever since. Anyone deal with this before? It's frustrating knowing there's assets just sitting there unreachable.

Oh no, this pain... The foolish moves from back then are now a nightmare.

After all these years, still haven't sorted it out? You should have backed up your private key a long time ago, brother.

Oh my, I still haven't recovered the coins from 2017. How painful must that be?

**Comment 1:** Oh no, this is really frustrating. I've had a similar experience where I couldn't remember my seed phrase for a while, and now I feel so helpless. **Comment 2:** The coins from 2017 are still just sitting there... Thinking about it makes me feel so regretful. I need to find a way quickly. **Comment 3:** I've heard too many stories about wallets being locked. Have you tried data recovery services? **Comment 4:** This feeling is just incredible. The money is right in front of you but you can't touch it. It's even worse than losing money. **Comment 5:** Wait, do you not have the private key? It should be recoverable. Ask the experts. **Comment 6:** Oh my god, how much this asset has increased in the past two years. It's truly despairing. **Comment 7:** I suggest trying to import the wallet to see if it can be recovered. Otherwise, there's really no other way.
