NAME
       recover -- Reinitialize Your Node for Recovery

SYNOPSIS
       recover hsmsecret

DESCRIPTION
       The  recover RPC	command	wipes your node	and restarts it	with the --re-
       cover option. This is only permitted if the node	is  unused:  no	 chan-
       nels, no	bitcoin	addresses issued (you can use check to see if recovery
       is possible).

       For  nodes  created with	v25.12 or later, hsmsecret MUST	be the 12-word
       mnemonic.

       For earlier nodes, hsmsecret is either a	codex32	secret	starting  with
       "cl1"  as  returned  by	lightning-hsmtool  getcodexsecret, or a	raw 64
       character hex string.

       NOTE: this command only currently works with the	sqlite3	database back-
       end.

       •  hsmsecret (string): Usually a	12-word	mnemonic; but  for  old	 nodes
	  either  a codex32 secret starting with cl1 as	returned by lightning-
	  hsmtool getcodexsecret or a raw 64 character hex string.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, an object is	returned, containing:

       •  result (string)  (always  "Recovery  restart	in  progress")	(added
	  v24.05)
