# Create and Import Wallet

## Set Password <a href="#set-password" id="set-password"></a>

Before you create a new wallet, import a private key, or restore a backup file, you need to set a wallet password first.

This password is very important. It is used to encrypt your private key and protect important actions inside KEYRING PRO. Please make sure you choose a password that you can remember and keep it safe.

KEYRING PRO is a non-custodial wallet, so we cannot reset or recover this password for you if you forget it.

To set your password, follow these steps:

1. From the start screen, choose one of the following options:
   * **Create new wallet**
   * **Import private key**
   * **Restore backup file**
2. Enter your password.
3. Enter the same password again to confirm.
4. Optional: Turn on **Face ID**.
5. Read the warning message and tick the confirmation checkbox.
6. Tap **Set Password** at the top right.
7. If Face ID is turned on, your device may ask for permission to allow KEYRING PRO to use Face ID. Tap **Allow** if you want to use Face ID.
8. Wait for the setup process to complete.
9. After the password is set, you may need to unlock KEYRING PRO with Face ID or by entering your password.
10. After unlocking, you can continue with the wallet creation, import, or restore process.

* Option 1: Set a New Password
* Option 2: Use Your Existing Passcode
  1. Tap **Use passcode**.
  2. Enter your current passcode from the old app version.
  3. After that, you can continue using the app using your old Passcode as the new Password.&#x20;
