The Critical Process of Ledger Recovery
Introduction: Your Ledger hardware is replaceable; your crypto funds are secured by your 24-word Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase). Knowing how to use this phrase to restore your accounts is the ultimate safety net.
When Restoration is Needed:
You are setting up a new Ledger device.
Your existing Ledger device has been reset or wiped.
You forgot your PIN code.
The Restoration Process:
Start as a New Device: When prompted, select "Restore from Recovery Phrase" on the Ledger device itself.
Enter the Words: The device will prompt you to enter your 24 words one by one. Use the buttons to select the correct word from the generated list. This must be done carefully!
Set New PIN: Once the phrase is accepted, you will set a new 4 to 8 digit PIN for daily access.
Connect to Ledger Live: Open the Ledger Live desktop or mobile app. Connect your restored device and set it up as a "New device." The accounts will synchronize automatically.
🚨 WARNING: Never enter your 24-word phrase into any computer, phone, or website. It should only be entered directly onto a Ledger device.
