So if you want the master private key, basically as it was answered in the first post, go to console tab (you may need first View->Show Console) and type
Code:
getmasterprivate()

If you want the private key for one of your addresses in Electrum (you may need View->Show Addresses) go to addresses tab, right click an address and "private key".

I see you use temporary wallets for tests, very good. If you also want to try the transactions I recommend you run Electrum with --testnet parameter, you get testnet coins from testnet faucets for free and try there all you need.

Electrum doesn't follow BIP39 standards. Go to console and type getmasterprivate.

If the post above didn't work, add () at the end of that command, so type getmasterprivate()

i tried... bip32.org
but it dowsnt work.
What do you mean by "You tried bip32.org"? Did you enter your seed phrase from your Electrum wallet on the live website to try and make it generate your master private key?

If this is the case, know that that seed phrase has now been compromised and that wallet is no longer safe. You should not send any funds to that wallet, and any funds which are currently on that wallet you should move out to a newly created wallet. Create a new Electrum wallet from scratch before following the instructions above to obtain your master private key for whatever purposes you need it for.

Never enter your seed phrase on a live website, ever.

yes.. i tried but it was on a wallet that i created for that, in particular... an example wallet to practice.
