If you had BTC before the fork, you got the same amount in BCC.

They are now different coins, which means that you either spend your BTC or BCC. You may have both BTC and BCC in the same address which contained BTC before the fork (if you didn't move any of them afterwards). If that's the case, you will have to import your address in a wallet that supports Bitcoin Cash - i.e Electron Cash - to be able to spend them, and use a regular BTC address to spend your Bitcoins.

Hi i had bitcoins on armory before the split and now sent to different wallet can i use the armory wallet addresses which are now empty to import to electrum cash and still get the bitcoin cash thanks

I'm not familiar with Armory, but I did some research to try to help you.

1. Select your wallet and go to "Backup this wallet".
2. Click on "See Other Backup Options" -> select "Export Key Lists" -> click on "Export Key Lists".
3. A new dialog will show up. Select only "Private key (Plain Base58)" and "Omit spaces in key data".

Now, download Electron Cash[1] and do the following to import your private keys:

1. In the "new wallet" wizard select "Standard wallet" -> "Use public or private keys"
2. Enter the private keys you took from Armory into the textbox.
3. See if the Balance will update with the amount of BCH you have.

So, let me get this clear. You imported your private keys from Armory in a new Electron Cash wallet but didn't sent them yet to a new HD wallet (the one that has a seed) because it's showing "incorrect password" when you try to make a transaction?

If that's correct, it means that all your BCH are still stored in your addresses from before the August 1st fork. You can just do the first steps again to import the same private keys in a new wallet and don't set up a password this time (just click Next with the empty textbox), then try to send them to your new wallet (make sure you have the seed stored somewhere).
