if it accepts pwd, change pwd to blank, can you try that?
that way, we can get unencrypted seed from wallet file.

Ignore that, I didn't read the OP very well, and it probably won't help any.

when you say it didnt work, what happeend, do you see your balances and addresses but the same issue appears?
Or you werent able to open?
Or you werent able to open?
There is no balance or transactions appearing.
It just wouldn't let it open. I guess it isnt cross compatiable between LTC and BTC.
Anyone whom figures this out can have a share of the funds, ideally dont want to lose them...

im not familiar with the LTC version... but try it , what do you have to lose -- just make a copy
of the wallet file so nothing can be modified on the original.

yeah, so that's an encrypted seed. Unencrypted are only about 32.
Well... I hope some of the real experts here chime in...
But if no one else can help you, I can try writing you a python
script to manually decrypt the seed string from the wallet file
using a password.
Although I can't predict the results based on the funky behavior
the wallet is doing already.
What's the seed version? Whats the electrum version?
How much coinage are we talking here out of curiosity
thats stuck in your wallet?

Damn thats annoying!
That might work! yeah the wallet has gone crazy, there is NOWAY the password is incorrect and it obviously wont open the seed window if it was.
The seed version is 4 it says and electrum is 1.9.8.6 and is the LTC wallet.
And well it is a good 2BTC+
Thanks

btw, i have no idea about this error or what happened etc...
sounds like something got corrupted but i'm just guessing...
maybe others will have better solution...
i am just trying to see if we can manually restore your seed
from the file.

Hopefully we will get somewhere,
Ok so, there are these == included on the end of what is written after the word seed. if we include those then it is 88 characters long and if we dont count them it is 86 characters? This is the first place it says 'seed' at the top.
Any use?

How many characters is the seed value?

make a copy of the wallet file and open it with notepad or text editor.
search for "seed", do you have a value there?
search for "seed", do you have a value there?
Ok i did that and there is a value next to the word seed, however it is a numeric value and not words, what should i do now?
It actually occurs twice, one near the top of the file and one lower but the lower one says "seed_version" the first one just says "Seed" and then has a numeric value after.
Thanks for your help in this, i really appreciate it.
