what is the arguments for btcrecover if i have only a change address
i want to recover seed but to check against change address
i tried m/1/0 but seems not working

It's impossible to recover a seed from an any address.  It doesn't matter if if's a change address or a standard derivation.  Not even if you have the private key will you be able to decipher the seed.

The derivation path for change addresses in Electrum should be m/0’/1/

For the change address at index 0 the derivation would be m/0’/1/0

i tried m/1/0 but seems not working
What's your seed type?
standard (p2pkh), SegWit or other types?

For the first two:
  • Standard should have --bip32-path m/1

    Sample command and result (standard seed, change address index 0):
    Code:
    $ py seedrecover.py --tokenlist 1test.txt --mnemonic-length 12 --language en --addrs 164ZevaKdd3SjasnyzyLXHoSBfRMoD1Zj5 --addr-limit 1 --bip32-path m/1 --dsw

    Starting seedrecover 1.9.0-CryptoGuide, btcrecover 1.9.0-Cryptoguide on Python 3.12.5 64-bit, 21-bit unicodes, 64-bit ints
    Using the 'en' wordlist.
    2024-09-26 12:36:45 : Phase 1/1: up to 12 mistakes, 12 of which can be an entirely different seed word.
    2024-09-26 12:36:45 : Using 12 worker threads
    2024-09-26 12:36:48 : ***MATCHING SEED FOUND***, Matched on Address at derivation path: m/1/0

  • SegWit should have --bip32-path "m/0'/1"

    Sample command and result (SegWit seed, change address index 0):
    Code:
    $ py seedrecover.py --tokenlist 1test2.txt --mnemonic-length 12 --language en --addrs bc1qlv0u6zwm7n66e75flllnep23mf3stdzl3dvwxp --addr-limit 1 --bip32-path "m/0'/1" --dsw

    Starting seedrecover 1.9.0-CryptoGuide, btcrecover 1.9.0-Cryptoguide on Python 3.12.5 64-bit, 21-bit unicodes, 64-bit ints
    Using the 'en' wordlist.
    2024-09-26 12:43:21 : Phase 1/1: up to 12 mistakes, 12 of which can be an entirely different seed word.
    2024-09-26 12:43:22 : Using 12 worker threads
    2024-09-26 12:43:24 : ***MATCHING SEED FOUND***, Matched on Address at derivation path: m/0'/1/0

    For other seed types like MultiSig and "2fa", it's basically the same but you need your "master public key" instead of the MultiSig address, and the correct path.
