imToken utilizes Hierarchical Deterministic wallets (HD Wallets). This means that the private key for every address used by their wallet can be generated from the Mnemonic. To get started you will need your account Mnemonic. If you do not have this take a look at the follow article from imToken on how to access your Mnemonic

One you have the Mnemonic you can proceed with the following steps.

Use the Mnemonic to extract the address private key you wish to recover funds from.
