Describe the issue

Hello. I'm using litecoin core version 0.14.2 and suddenly i got one error and i cannot access my wallet. I found this out in debug.log.

Warning: Warning: Wallet file corrupt, data salvaged! Original wallet.dat saved as wallet.{timestamp}.bak in "/home/cryptodaemon/.litecoin/"; if your balance or transactions are incorrect you should restore from a backup.

Now i have 2 backups created, and i cannot access my wallet and also my accounts. Is there any way to recover whole wallet.dat file? I've tried to restart litecoin daemon with --salvagewallet but this don't help. Now i have 3 files:

wallet.151525xxx.bak wallet.151525xxx.bak wallet.dat Last one wallet.dat don't have any accounts or transactions... Please any solutions? I have a lot of money into my wallet.

Did you make any backups of the wallet.dat file before the issue occurred? If so, please restore that file to ~/.litecoin/wallet.dat. With any of the wallet files listed above, are you able to see any transactions when opening Litecoin Core? If so, please try running the Litecoin Core client with parameter -rescan
