I Have entered into my geth console 

geth eth.accounts ["0xf844f0d7acb0d01bf66ffd81809fb96b2236abce", "0xc8d94cb87173fc94c4b165e44a5fc0b047618044", "0x6a0ef1a429c3570cb342963d309dd5aaa9e49cd4", "0x21c4910f85842cd6dc2ecb50fc2612b2b0c9e703"]

But i coudn't see my metamask account which metamask gave me first 

0xC2a7b0DD8e7728C77712EB196fDcF375C3632fA8

Address of the metamask given account

I tried to request ether by fosset for test it gave me 3 ether but I can't see it in my console

 eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])

MY metamask test network is having 3 ether so I tried to check the balance in terminal still it gave me 0

> eth.getBalance('0xC2a7b0DD8e7728C77712EB196fDcF375C3632fA8') 0

1)How to import the metamask account into geth so we can interact with geth console

2) Why balance is showing me zero when typing the command even if the balance is present

You can import your account into geth using this command geth account import <keyfile> , where keyfile is the associated private key.

Or you can directly copy the UTC file that lies in the keystore as explain here import-account-from-one-geth-node-to-another-geth-node

  • you need to run this command from you OS command line not from the geth javascript console Commented Oct 26, 2018 at 12:41

  • b770ae3db608b357c250ca0f8cd5 is not a file containing your private key. I think you should read this link [link] (github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Managing-your-accounts) Commented Oct 26, 2018 at 13:56
