If you have the private key, you can sweep it into an app like Coinomi on Android or add it to the main LTC client on Win/Mac/Linux. The private key will probably start with a T.

Hey Hank! Thanks so much for this. in my ltc key file there are many symbols, how many would typical ltc private key consist of ? what are the other symbols in the file?

An uncompressed private key looks like this:

A compressed one looks like this:

I'm not sure what the other symbols would be - does it look like random bytes? Is this the backup file from the app? If so, you need to decrypt it with openssl using the backup password specified by the user.

Hey - I have toooo many simbols in that file. Like 5 rows of random bytes. Cant remember where i dloaded it from.

Is there a simple way how to do decrypt , as the ones i checked required specific skillset, if you know what i mean.
