Title: Incorrect Password
Post by: mpeters9 on March 05, 2015, 09:00:19 AM
After getting 2.0, while trying to send BTC, I enter my password I've always had, and am told it is incorrect. Any suggestions? I have my seed so if there is anyway to change my password with it that'd be great.

Just create a new wallet and choose restore, then use your seed and set whatever password you'd like for the new wallet.

Yes, but after he will import his "wallet" to the new electrum 2.0 he will not be able to send bitcoin without the password  or am I wrong? @btchris do you remember at least some characters/words of it?

I don't understand what you're asking.... OP never mentioned anything about importing a wallet, and restoring from a seed does not require a password.

Oh sorry I didn't "read" properly the OP, I'm sorry again for my quickly reply. Yes you don't need to know the password for restore your "wallet" with the use of the seed.
