Electrum extra wallet

[metalcarver]

Somehow I ended up with two wallet files in electrum (2.8.2 Win 10) The one I was using, "buy online" and "default wallet".  I've been using the buy online and somehow when I bought coin I transferred it to "default wallet".  Went to buy something and when I sent, it said wrong password, which is when I noticed default wallet instead of buy online.  My question is do you have to create the default wallet when you set up electrum for the first time or is it included in the setup.  If I had to set up a default wallet I probably have the seed words if it was already there is there some kind of default password?  I know if the seed and password are gone so is the dough.

Normally at first when you install electrum it asks you to name the wallet and the name by default of this wallet is "default_wallet"

After this it asks you to create the seed and password. If you have the wallet file and the seed somewhere you can restore it, it is easy through File/New/Restore , choose I already have the seed.

default_wallet.dat should be in this directory.

C:\Users\"yourname here"\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets

If you don't remember nor the seed nor the password, your bitcoins are lost forever.

so basically you forget your pass?
my experience is export private key and re-install your OS to get new wallet, i've been tried to re-install electrum wallet but i got same wallet.
may be this link will more help you http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html
@Cereberus already explain where you need to go.

Yeah, you would have had to set the password on that default_wallet, and it would have provided you the seed words. There is no Default password. Hopefully, you have those either of those or can remember your password so that you can recover your funds.

There are methods to brute force the password if you've forgotten it and have an idea what the password may be, but if you have no idea, it would be very tough to recover.
