I think I messed up big but maybe someone can tell me if I can recover from this. I made a wallet a long time ago on Electrum to import my key and send BTC to my coinbase account. I did not write the paraphrase down and I wrote down the wrong password! I went back a few months later and I imported another private key in Electrum so that I could send to my coinbase account. But it is asking me for a password and it keeps saying it is incorrect. I have tried everything I could think of but no luck. Any suggestions?
Where did you generate the key you imported? Do you still have a copy? If, yes the wallet does not matter and you can import the keys into a new one.
If you no longer have access to the private keys you imported, its true you cant restore from the seed. Electrum is pretty easy to brute force though, because its not well protected against these kind of attacks. A common tool for this would be btcrecover[1]. Testing a few billion passwords should be no problem, the question is whether or not you remember enough about your password.

thinking again , remember your password ..
you can recover with phone number, you cant recover an electrum wallet with a phone number.
