How to find a lost 401(k):

1. Contact your old employer's HR department

2. Check old 401(k) statements for account details

3. Use look-up databases like the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits or the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators

4. Check the Department of Labor's abandoned plan database
