<p>I've used bitcoinj wallet and used derive path as below.</p>

<pre><code>public static final ImmutableList&lt;ChildNumber&gt; BIP44_ACCOUNT_ZERO_PATH =ImmutableList.of(new ChildNumber(44, true), new ChildNumber(1, true), new ChildNumber(0, true));
</code></pre>

<p>Now As I load wallet in application then it loads from backup and app crashes because it took old derive path and I already changed it.</p>

<p>So it won't find old derive path and app crashes.</p>

<p>How can I change derive path?</p>

<p>Please help.</p>

It would be helpful to provide some code.

# Change derive path

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-09-18)

I've used bitcoinj wallet and used derive path as below.

```
public static final ImmutableList<ChildNumber> ACCOUNT_ZERO_PATH = ImmutableList.of(ChildNumber.ZERO_HARDENED);

```

But I made changes in above path for generating bip44 standard addresses.

```
public static final ImmutableList<ChildNumber> BIP44_ACCOUNT_ZERO_PATH =ImmutableList.of(new ChildNumber(44, true), new ChildNumber(1, true), new ChildNumber(0, true));

```

Now As I load wallet in application then it loads from backup and app crashes because it took old derive path and I already changed it.

So it won't find old derive path and app crashes.

How can I change derive path?

Please help.

Thanks.

The bip44 derivation uses a mnemonic phrase and is standard if you are restoring it should not have problems. Are you mixing bip39 with bip44?
