You can try to restore your wallet into Electrum, here is a guide describing all necessary steps: Multibit old wallet restore (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5315403.0)

P.S. Unless you are trollling, you should never post sensitive information (or that looks like one) such as private keys, seed phrases or passwords.

Is that a seed phrase and password? Why did you post them?
It is not safe if you share this sensitive information about your wallet.
I hope this is not your wallet that you are trying to recover or else someone will try to extract private keys from your wallet and steal your BTC better remove or erase them now.

If this is just a random seed then you can follow the guide shared by witcher_sense above under the HCP post.

Or they could be trying to scam people who would try to steal the funds. But, it could be a rookie mistake after all.

What are you doing? Are you kidding? Who shares their private information like private keys or seed phrase? I don't think you are really trying to recover your account. I think you are here to make a joke if you shared your private keys. If in the board there is no seed phrase then what are thay ? Kindly explain

"multibitwallet dot net

Did multibit used this domain? I've only heard of multibit.org which now redirects to their github page meanwhile, the quoted website appears to be infested with malware since multibit has been discontinued yet they have this multibit core available for download.

It reminded me of this particular case, see: I got hacked after downloading a file from multibitwallet dot com (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5424798.0)

Keep pretending as if you don't know how important the information you are sharing is, I bet you are doing this knowing that someone could try to import the seed into their own wallet, even a newbie knows how important recovery seed can be before telling them, because every crypto wallet warns not to share recovery seed with anyone. Nice try ;D

I tried to lookup the seed and found it in some wallet dump website lol - I won't be posting the link here but anyone could see for themselves by looking it up. Indeed, op could be pretending to not know anything or was too much of a newbie they fell for some weird promise...

Maybe he aren't shared a real private key but just dummy or trap just to know who interesting on his plan. If he was really serious, he could try recovery using electrum like posted above, It's look easy just select import private key option on electrum.

First of all try to find out where you keep your wallet password or private key. If you have stored your wallet access somewhere, you can find it and login to your wallet.  But if you do not store the password or private key of your wallet somewhere, then you may have to struggle a lot to get this wallet back. If there is a forget password option then you can try to recover your wallet from the forget password option. If there is no forget system, you must find the private key or password of the wallet, otherwise you will not be able to login to this wallet.
