Do you mean you forgot your private key? There is no way to retreive your private key. You are the only one responsible for your private key.

Copied from the MeW website:

MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL. You are responsible for your security.

he might lost or forgot his password.
there are many way to log in with myetherwallet.
if you lost your password you can still have your private keys to log in to your wallet.
you should have saved both ways.

I forgot my MyEtherWallet password. I don't see "forgot password" in MyEtherWallet website. Is this means that I can't change my password anymore? Anyone have suggestions about this matter? Kindly share it to me please. Thanks!

If you use a keystore / json file you will be prompted to enter a password, but if you have privatekey you do not need a password.

The fact that MEW doesn't have privkey recover option is a good thing, it's a one of many proof that they dont save up your private key to their database.
Just other time, try to be careful to safe your private key into some place that can be easily found but not easily stolen. it's a way for beginner to save their coins safely.

You can't recover the password . MEW doesn't have this option . So please save JSON File + Password , moreover you can use the private key to login in MEW . If you want to be safer , then you can use MEW Offline

In the digital money world, wallets have extra precaution. I am using myetherwallet. you should never lose the key for the safety of your wallet. because if you lose you can not get it back.

Losing our wallet private keys means losing your whole coins inside that wallet because we couldn't access our wallet without private keys and the only way we can do is to find it whatever the cost.
recently, there's a guy who keep on digging a garbage hill of the town because he want to retrieve his hard drive where his bitcoin wallet account was stored.
every crypto wallet should be access using private keys and there's no way to retrieve it except you have copy of private keys digital or hardware.

Actually, MyEtherWallet do not need any password to login. You just need chose login method and put all information with that method to be login.

I don't think there's another way to recover our MEW account or private key that's why we need to keep it into a secure place.
I wrote down my private key on a piece of paper and keep it on a place that only me could find, and if someone found it, they had no idea what's it for.
losing wallet private keys will result into disaster because there's no way we could access our wallet account without private keys.

I got the same thing yesterday as you just got all my account, I made the sinkron automatically, so the data and photos are still in my account even though we lost the key or forgot the password.

I have a follow up question here, will you be able to retrieve your eth wallet by the use of private key that is written in a paper after having the utc file deleted accidentally?

Forgetting your password will not harm you, though you lose 1 security of your account. you can still access your account with your private key and be sure not to forget that one or delete it. you only need the password if you are using the image files, but if there's no chance of having your password remember just choose to access myetherwallet with your private key. well that more important though so never lose, forget or share it. e careful now.

This is one disadvantage of using MEW, there is no option to recover our forget password but if you have your private key with you then you can access your wallet. But they must give the option to reset our password. while using your private key to log in your account use the secured system. If you lost your private key then nobody can help you.

The password is created for a metamask, a program for transferring coins, and there is no mew. I'm afraid the man lost his wallet in the abyss

MyEtherWallet.com (MEW) is just an interface to interact with the Ethereum protocol. When you create a new Ethereum wallet, MEW asks you for a password and then prompts you to save your "UTC / Json" file. This file contains your private key, but the key is encrypted with your password. If you have this file and the password, you can recover all the funds in your wallet with 100% certainty.

If you have this file and you have one or more guesses as to what your password might be, then you can attempt to brute force decrypt your password.

So, you need to do three things:
1. You need to search your computer for your Json file. If you find it, move on to step #2.
2. You need to develop a list of the passwords you might have used.
3. You need to test variations of those passwords against the Json file.

This article (https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/2018/02/09/how-to-recover-your-lost-myetherwallet-mew-password/) will walk you through each of those three items, step-by-step, including screenshots from MEW and a systematic method for identifying potential password guesses.

Thanks,
Chris

There is no better way to say it that when you lost or misplaced your private key, your account is lost especially with myetherwallet cause you are absolutely in control of the account. As good as this wallet is with privacy if you lose it via your private key either to any one or missing,then the wallet is gone. Open another and keep your lesson learnt

There is nice page generated for new MyEtherWallet wallets with ETH address and Private Key.
The safest way to store it:
- print your Private Key on the paper,
- or make a photo of your Private Key via offline camera (not smartphone).

There is no option to recover your myetherwallet password if you forget it. Password is required only if you login your account with utc file and if you have your private key intact then still you can login your account without password.

in ethereum, there are two ways to control you account. one way is to use your private key. these are just made up of numbers, keys and letters. the other way to control you wallet is the UTC File together with you made password. one thing that you should take precaution is that you can never change you password again. so be sure to keep the UTC file together with your password in a piece of paper.
