Try with capslock enabled, maybe it's an uppercase/lowercase problem. Have you typed the password or have you done copy&paste? Sometimes a superfluous character is added if you copy it from a text file.

Good luck!

If you are still unable to find out the password , you have two solutions , first one is to recover your wallet using the seed (I can't even imagine that you deposited 50 BTC without taking a backup of the seed) or use private keys (If you exported them before) and import them into another wallet. Other then that , there isn't much you could do.

they know whether to pay the password letters and has? or must be long that?
copies I did not, it may be only one of three.
is 50 euro which I wanted to transfer. not 50 BTC.
the sign of the cash then this is not true password ???
I used electrum before two months the first time. I'm new.

I translated with google in German.

the bad thing is I have to seed the paasphrase not saved.
with the master public key that's also not without password, right?

private key export i need the password Sad

The client gives a big fat warning about saving your seed.. If you choose to ingore this and still send 50 (usd or bitcoin, you didnt specificy) you are almost begging to lose the coins..

Try your password in different combinations where you switch out letters to letters next to the ones you used. Maybe you simply misstyped it two times by accident when setting up the password.

Alternatively, you can choose to hire someone to crack it (based on the possible passwords you think it could be), but you then run the risk of them running of with your coins if they manage to get in.

It doesn't lock you out even if you get the password wrong many times.

Or just go to File > Open.  BTW wallet.dat is not used in every single wallet in existence.  Wallets other than bitcoin core (including electrum) doesn't use .dat extension for their wallet.

Yeah there is no extension in eleecturm  their wallet file is just a file and no extension.. maybe this method will work if he made a new account the same   name. or he forgot the password or maybe some letters or numbers in password is double..

You don't really need screenshot unless you want to show your wallet to us.  You can just test them by yourself.

Also I don't think people can answer most of your questions above because it's very hard to understand your English (google translate is far from perfect).  I suggest that you open a thread using your own language in German (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=16.0) local board instead, they might be able to help you more.
