I click on the Hidden Account (1) button to view my account, which I hid a few months ago, but the account does not appear. What can I do to access it?

Yes, I tried this method, but when I click on the Hidden Account button, no account appears below.

See if the following method works.

- If it’s not the latest version, upgrade it
- Restart browser
- Disable and then enable it on the extension management page.

If that doesn’t work, you may need to reinstall and then import your seed phrase.  
Before reinstalling, make sure you have backed up your seed phrase.

My MetaMask version is up to date, I restarted my browser, but the problem did not resolve. I realized I didn’t back up my wallet and I need to access it somehow.

hey @kayaagokhan . Be sure to back up your seed phrase.  
Settings - Security & Privacy - reveal secret recovery phrase
