Who/what is "it" exactly? You need to be more specific, but it sounds like you are using a wallet service/provider of some sort in such case you need to contact them.

Do you not know the pin code you set up?  Maybe ask your wife if she's the one that set it up.

I recommend using Venmo or wiring her money via western union. Its probably faster than the 20+ hours youve already waited for an answer to this question.  How do you guys not have mainstream payment options available to you?  Where are you even at that having crypto is even essential to your daily lives?

I recommend you triple check that you are not being scammed.
