Title: Electrum
Post by: mostef88 on April 15, 2017, 01:08:51 AM
I need help.  I was informed about Bitcoin recently and downloaded "Electrum" onto my computer.  I have written down my seed as well as my password and not it's not allowing me to log in and says I have the incorrect password.  I wrote everything down!  Can someone help me in finding out why my pass is not working and how I can retrieve/reset it? 

Much thanks

try to just create a new wallet then and restore from your existing seed. (choose the option 'restore from seed')  your new wallet wont have a password on it (unless you create another one).

you can create a new wallet using the file menu > new/restore option.

To add this, restore the seed you have written down already so you can be able to add a new password and store/keep it on a safe place offline.
