Sadly, you will never be able to get your wallet back after you lose your private key. My suggestion is, forget everything then create a new wallet but now, make sure to keep your private key safe. At least make a physical backup of the wallet by printing the private key or writing it down. Make sure to keep it somewhere safe and don't let anyone touch it.

Your out of luck unless you have the keystore file saved, Take this opportunity to learn from your mistakes and take security more serious in the future.

Even if you are able to retrieve it back you are taking a high risk of your wallet being compromise and i does not think there is any way of getting it back, create a new one and send the tokens to your new address is a better choice.

In this case if you have lost your private key you could as well consider your fund stolen and graciously accept that you have made a  mistake that led to your loss!

I have lost my etherium wallet private key.Could any one know how to recover my private key.

Unfortunately, now you are not he owner of this wallet anymore, if you don't know your private key. There is no way to recover. I think that this case should be a good lesson for you in the future. And maybe this lesson will prevent more significant loses.
It isn't good!
Next time be more careful and hide the key so that it does not lose, but at the same time, so that no one except you can not find it.

Maybe you have some more information from your wallet such as a seed phrase or Keystore / JSON File, then you can go into your wallet through the MEW and see your private key.

Unfortunately you are not able recover that and nothing can be done now.  Its your responsibility to back up your private key and keep safe. You need to start again with zero  now next time be careful and back your private key safely.

There are to ways to access mytetherwallet account, using  private key which is you lost and can't be retrieve. So your last chance is the keystone file that been downloaded when you create the wallet. Then it have a chance if you imported your private key in imtoken or any third party apps. Those are ways and if you access again your mew, take care all impotant details not just only about key also all crypto assets

I think when you lose the key is very difficult to recover your wallet is almost impossible, I hope you can find it as it is

Unfortunately nothing. This is the beauty of cryptocurrency and decentralization. This is not a credit card pin that can be recovered.It is more and more complicated and easier at the same time !

There is no way you can save your funds/access the wallet without your private key (or Json etc.). So make sure you are completely certain that you didn't just misplace it and perhaps search for the JSON file in case you created it at the beginning.

The private key from the wallet can not be restored in any way unless you have made a backup in advance or written it somewhere in a notebook. Here before creating a purse, developers advise it to be stored securely so that in the future there are no such cases. Many people wrote that they lost the keys to their bitkoyn wallets and can not recover them here and count the lope they lost money on this. The best way to store your keys is to print it on paper and save it on a flash drive then put it all in the safe for even more reliable storage of money.

very difficult when forgotten private key, very unlikely to get it back.
but there is still hope when you remember the password when the start of making the wallet.
but still it will be hard to restore it.
