Ok, next day I try and load the wallet, NOW it wants a password. Doesn't take my old password. I'm wondering if I forgot? Tried several variations. nothing.
Electrum doesn't have a central server for wallets, the server that you see in the network menu is for finding transactions and verification purposes,
the wallet files are saved in your PC's disk, usually in:
electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-locatedThat said, there's no way for others to set a password in your wallet remotely unless your PC itself can be controlled remotely/physically.
What do I do? I have money in one account and its not connected to my electrum wallet and I have no idea why? I didn't start a new wallet when I opened the older app, and I have no idea why it didn't merge.
It's not the first time I've heard from newbies of Electrum wallet suddenly asking for a password but there's never been a bug in Electrum that does that.
Most of the time, it's a user who got confused, failed to remember what really happened, not telling the whole truth.
Please provide as much info as described in this sticky topic:
[READ BEFORE POSTING] Tech Support Help Request FormatFor now, try to look for other possible wallet files.
There's a chance that your old Electrum wallet is a "
Portable Version" which uses a different data directory which saves the wallet files in its own wallets dir.
It's usually the "
wallets" folder inside "
electrum_data" folder inside the same directory where electrum-portable executable is located.
