I have the same problem.
I have my seed saved, but forgot my password so i can send payments.
Tried all my casual passwords, but none of them is working. Allthough i paid with Electrum just a few days ago...
When i click on File > New/Restore i have to choose a new wallet name.
Then I click on "Restore a wallet or import keys" i enter my seed and a new password

But when this is done i have no money in this new wallet and the addresses are all different.
Why can't i just choose Restore "Wallet name" from the beginning, instead of creating a new name and then click restore with seed, when this obviously is not working.... Or have i done something wrong??

Best Regards and hoping for a good answer here...
