Recover wallet on Trezor Safe 5

Recovery is the process of using a wallet backup to restore and enable access to your existing accounts. This guide will help you recover a wallet on your Trezor Safe 5 using Trezor Suite.
 

If you're locked out of your Trezor because you've forgotten your PIN, or you wish to load a different wallet backup onto your device, your first need to wipe the device and then proceed with the recovery process (shown below).

Initial Setup

Plug in your Trezor Safe 5: If you're setting up your device for the first time or have done a factory reset, plug the device into your computer and open Trezor Suite.

Choose Setup Option:

• If the device is new, select Setup my Trezor
• If your device was wiped and there is firmware already installed, select Yes, Set up my Trezor

   

• Firmware Confirmation: Trezor Suite will either confirm your current firmware version or update it to the most recent version.
• Device check: Trezor Suite will then ensure that your device is authentic. Once this is confirmed, you can then proceed with the recovery process.

Wallet Recovery

• In Trezor Suite, click on the Recover Wallet option:

   

• Click Start Recovery and confirm the action on your Trezor device:

   

• The entire recovery process is performed on the TS5 touchscreen.
• First, swipe up to confirm the Terms and Conditions:

   

• Then, select the number of words in your wallet backup (20 words is the default for the Trezor Safe 5):

   

• You will then be prompted to enter all words from your wallet backup, in the correct order, using your TS5 touchscreen:

   

• Swipe up to confirm, then begin entering your wallet backup using the touchscreen:

   

• After successfully entering your wallet backup, your TS5 will display the Wallet recovery completed screen, and you can swipe up to continue.
