Dear Hongyi Zhao,

In case the purpose of your job was not to modify the atomic positions,
but to do the determination of density/electronic structure
for fixed atomic positions, you should be able to restart
by reading the last wavefunction file _WFK that was generated by ABINIT
(unless you set the input variable prtwf to 0).

In case your atomic positions / cell size were changed, you should also
copy by hand the latest ones to your input file, and also read the  
latest
_WFK file that was produced by ABINIT.

Good luck,
Xavier
