When you recover a cryptocurrency wallet, its address is directly derived from your recovery phrase. This recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase) is the only information needed to restore access to your funds. If you see a different address after recovery than what you had before, it's most likely because you've entered a recovery phrase that's different from your original one.
Even a single incorrect word in your recovery phrase can generate a completely different wallet address. To prevent this issue, it's crucial to accurately record and securely store your recovery phrase when you first set up your wallet. Remember: your recovery phrase is unique to your wallet and cannot be recreated if it's lost or changed.
