1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: electrum-ltc 2.8.3.5 incorrect password on: August 22, 2017, 10:31:21 PM
Hi. I will try the virtual machine with this some time later. Thanks for the tip.

I only asked for a custom wallet and did not rename or make a special wallet when installing program and creating the electrum-ltc wallet. Basically I can restore and access so long as I don't have it password protected, which makes it useless really. I moved to Coinomi for the time being.

Added note to issue: same issue happened to me on my laptop. Both these machines run Win 10 and Avast. I am not sure if Avast is at fault, since I turned it off for ten minutes and there was no change to the issue, unless there's still something running in the background. These were fresh installs on the laptop using restore, but still no access while using a password. I made sure of the password I used, to the point of single digit typing while staring straight at the correct keys.

I am doing small test changes too. For example, I created a password after the fact of re-installing on the desktop, not during install, and that password is working fine. So this issue may only be happening with a password created during the initial install and wallet set up. Something on my systems (Avast?) may not be playing nice with Electrum-LTC.

If it continues working with the the newly created password, I will be happy with the program.
2  Bitcoin / Electrum / electrum-ltc 2.8.3.5 incorrect password on: August 22, 2017, 04:40:23 PM
Hi. I am very new to cryptocurrency. I made a litecoin wallet using electrum-ltc 2.8.3.5. The wallet is encrypted. Everything went fine until I tried to log back in the first time. I know my password is correct, but it refused it over and over. I found one reference on line about deleting all files in roaming eletrum folder except the wallet folder. I tried that and got back into the program on my desktop, but after I transffered coins in, it stopped working again. It refuses my password no matter what I do, even if I try deleting all files but wallet in the roaming folder. Now it won't accept my password at all.

This program does not show me an option for restoring the wallet either. All I ever get when I click the program is a window that says choose the default wallet or other and then give password. There no other options at all.

Can anyone help me with this?

Edited to add: I have tried restoring using my laptop, and I used the same seed as for the wallet on the desktop, but when the program loaded after using the seed, it shows no balance. I thought the seed was supposed to restore my wallet. Why is this not working?

added: when I restored the same program without a password, it works. Seriously not good program. It won't work when a password is used.
