Do you mean when a wallet address is wrong, it goes into another?? And then if the another can be accessed it can be recovered??
Yes whoever owns the address you wrongly sent the BTC to can access it. It is now THEIR BTC to do whatever they want with it.

As for getting it back - it all depends on:
a. if you know who owns the address you (wrongly) sent it to
b. can contact them and then
c. convince them to return the BTC.
Good luck with all that...


Recently, I saw a project that offers a recovering process...via discord Roll Eyes...
So they have a few hundreds of validators and if you write in discord and proof that you have 'good intentions', they'll roll TX back...

All of these "send us your wallet and we will bruteforce it for you" services are scam. Nobody is going to be going through the resources that you require to bruteforce a wallet, which most likely it's impossible unless you used a really weak password, and then send you back the coins. You are better off purchasing the most powerful computer you can afford, and running bruteforcing algos on the password yourself, so you don't have to send your wallet to some third party. I mean there may be some legit business that does this, but I wouldn't trust it.
