# How to create Wallet

{% hint style="info" %}

In the event of hardware failure or the computer that is storing the Daedalus wallet is destroyed. You will require the recovery phrase to reinstate your wallet. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not take a screen print and keep it on the same computer that is hosting the wallet. Even if you delegate your ADA to a pool, the operator does not hold your ADA and is unable to assist you in retrieving your funds. I cannot reiterate how IMPORTANT the recovery phrase is.
{% endhint %}
