I am on a MAC, the wallet is and has been on my desktop, after it runs and says verified it says create new wallet, it does not ask me for my password
Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Zclassic and check whether the files are there especially the wallet.dat . Be sure to back up the wallet.dat file or the whole folder in other destination (
in your pc or external hdd/flash drive) just in case.
Try this. Run electrum and create a new wallet, then close. Go to the path again containing the zclassic folder and replace the wallet.dat with your back up file. Check if it works.
