Title: When attempting to update password, getting "Failed to Update Password" text Box
Post by: mbc2007 on October 21, 2016, 04:28:57 AM
Hoping for some help here!  I was an idiot and did not write down my seed when I D/L Electum as I was testing different wallets.  I am not sure how to access.  I thought I remembered the password after attemping several combinations.  Most combinations come up as password incorrect, but I have been typing 1 password which receives a pop up "Failed to Update Password."  Is this a glitch in Electrum or is there anything I can do here.  Thanks so much for any help!

do you have the latest version installed? there were some bugs fixed recently related to unicode characters in passwords. maybe you are affected by this. update to the latest version of electrum and try again.
