please i spent 1,000 dollars on these coins and now i cant retrieve them they are just in an address that i cannot access.
Use your backup.
If you bought $1,000 of coins without having a copy of your private key, and then you try to encrypt your private key without having a copy, and then because of some technical error your private key is lost - then it's your fault bud. I made the same mistake two times when I started with cryptocurrencies. Lost much more than $1000 USD. It's an expensive lesson, the only thing you can do is learn.
The hero member advice here is: Always have multiple copies of your private keys, in different locations! All of this is still experimental software, there are errors, and it's not the developers responsibility if that happens. It's your own responsibility.
