still you have to start to crack the code with 88 character, doesn't matter if the password was a single digit or 25 chars. There is nothing in the seed which can tell you the length of the password, nor the difficulty.. ok, he has some starting point about remembering some words.
Doesn't matter the difficulty of the source password, you still have to work on a 88 char long seed and the different options i've listen above, even if the password is "12345", the only way to recover the password is some luck for the OP to remember with some tries the original password.
sorry tu burst your bubble but props to you to try to help him!
The length of encoded text (here the seed) doesn't have anything to do with security of the AES-encryption.
It has as much to do with it than the length of emails in your inbox have to do with the security of your email account password.
The only thing that matters is the length of the encryption key.
And I just pointed out that in Electrum most people use a short encryption key (= password) because the box where you put your key is small and Electrum actually says after 10 characters that the key is Strong.
I know that you can select a very long password, and then it indeed is impossible to crack.
My first Electrum password was "Bitcoin123". Apparently you think that my 10 letter long password has a 88 char (88*8=704bit security) .
What if I encrypt the Bible with my short "Bitcoin123" encryption key? Would the security level be 3,566,480 letters = 28531840 bits? Whooooa. why hasn't anyone discovered this before
(Actually I googled it and the Bible does have 3566480 letters.)
If, and it is a big IF, the encryption password is short (and nonrandom) then it can be probably cracked if there is some knowledge of the password format.
If you start testing from 0 and finally find the right password after checking every possible combination of 1-10 characters it has nothing to do with 88 (704 bits) character long text that has been encrypted with the password. The OP has the seed and the encrypted seed, so you can check keys one by one and you know when you have it right..
PS: I will say it once again. OP is not trying to crack the Electrum seed. He is trying to crack his password, which is probably only 8-12 chars long.
