How do I do that? 
edit: nevermind, recover!

OS: Windows 7  
Electrum Version: 1.9.8  

I lost my electrum password, but I have the seed.  
I looked up some posts and they suggested renaming the old wallet file and then do a "restore wallet."  
Backed up the old wallet, and then renamed it.  
Let Electrum ran... and input the seed.  
(I think it's the correct seed, if I made a mistake would it just say "fail"? Anyway by clicking on the restore wallet and inputting the seed it went "smoothly" without anyway other prompt)  
And then generated new password.  
Waited for electrum to do it's thing.  
New addresses generated... and... nothing.  
It just said "no transaction found for this seed."  
restarted electrum and still nothing.

As mentioned, I still have the backup.
I'm freaking out here.
Is there anything I can do?
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks in advance!

edit: it turns out that there's no way to know if I input the correct seed. Shit.
edit2: do you input the space between the words for the seeds? like "this is seed" or "thisisseed"? 
edit3: recover!!!!! turns out that you do have to separate the words in the seed, instead I typed them as one string. Stupid stupid stupid mistake.
