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-located
That 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.

For 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.
