How to recover an old wallet.dat file
I did wait for 2days to sync but it shows 0.00 transaction and 0 bitcoins it give me a new receiving address but not my old one which I have encrypted and I have backed up. When I went to my back up files on both places and tried to open it from there it still does not open my old wallet but only the new one which was given with the re-installation. Do I remove the new installation and do it differently or there is a way that I can replace my new given receiving wallet with my old one. I just can not get it why it is not opening my back up wallet data with my purchased coins in it.
