HI

I feel like pulling my hair our from frustration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I sent bitcoins to one of 4 electrum wallets that I have. I was not paying attention to which
wallet I was opening...In any event, before I begin, for the one that helps me with this issue I will make a bitcoin donation!!!   Now, I went to new/restore and created a new wallet and selected that I have a seed, the new wallet was made. The funds that that I need to get from the default wallet STILL remains...
Out of frustration I went back and created a seed for the wallet that I am trying to get the funds from ( I made sure that I save it), but it is still asking me
for a password for anything I try to do!!!!  How can I get my bitcoins out of this wallet??? Remember I have the seed for it. I tried to go in and change the
password and create a new one, but that didnt work. So consequently, I may have set a password and do not remember. I dont think the wallet is encrypted
from what the password section stated. Can that be a way around my problem. I do not know what to do....Someone P-L-E-A-S-E HELP!!!!!  Please
explain what to do in LAYMAN terms please....I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Create another wallet using the seed you have, but when it asks you to set a password leave the password text box blank. That will create an unencrypted wallet that will not ask you for a password when you try to send coins.

... Out of frustration I went back and created a seed for the wallet that I am trying to get the funds from ( I made sure that I save it), but it is still asking me for a password for anything I try to do!!!!...
What do you mean by you "created a seed for the wallet"? Huh I don't understand... you don't create seeds for a wallet after they have already been created and used? Huh

When you originally created the wallet before you sent any coins to it, you should have been given the seed by Electrum , which you should have written down... then you have to re-enter the seed to confirm you have written it down correctly... and then Electrum will ask you to create a password for your wallet... the wallet is then created. If you created a new seed, that will NOT enable you to recover your coins, that will be for a new wallet.

If you are 100% sure that you have the seed for the wallet with coins in it... do this:

Step 1. "File -> New/Restore", enter a new name for your wallet like "RestoredWallet", DO NOT use the same name as a previous wallet. It should tell you the file doesn't exist, click "next"
Step 2. Select "Standard Wallet" from the list and click "next"
Step 3. Select "I already have a seed" from the list and click "next"
Step 4. Enter the original seed that you got when you first created the original wallet and click "next"
Step 5. If you want, you can enter a password to encrypt the keys and/or wallet file. It is recommended to do this, but if you REALLY don't want to use a password, leave it all blank and click "next", just be aware that by not having a password, anyone that gets access to your wallet file could get your private keys.

Electrum will then recreate your wallet, using the seed and you should see all your transaction history and current balance. You should then be able to send coins using the password you just set up (or without entering a password if you didn't set one up)

NOTE: If you do not see the transaction history and correct balance, then you are attempting to restore using the wrong seed.
