Hello All,
so this is probably a Noob question but i would really appreciate the advice.
I have been using Electrum for a little while now and so far its functionality i have been impresssed with. HOWEVER now i have a slight issue. Everytime i go to send from my wallet it asks for a password, I have input the CORRECT password and yet it ALWAYS states it is incorrect? I tried to take the seed from the wallet itself in the wallet dropdown box and i input the password there and it opens the seed window yet it shows the seed has 0 words?
How do i save my wallet? I want the funds out of it.
And heres the thing, i wonder if this is actually a system issue because i went and got a BRAND NEW laptop yesterday. Ran them both side by side. I installed Electrum on the new one. Opened a new wallet. INPUT A VERY SIMPLE PASSWORD and then i tried to send a small amount as a test and guess what? INCORRECT PASSWORD!!! How can this possibly be? The password on the test wallet is so simple even a chimp could guess it!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as i urgently need to gain access to my main wallet.
Thanks again

So let me get this straight:
If you try to get the seed, by going to: Wallet=>Seed,
it will prompt for a password.
(If the password is incorrect, it will say "Incorrect Password".)
Yet, you are saying it is ACCEPTING that password there.
...and then showing you a blank seed.
That in of itself doesn't make sense because how can
the seed be blank?
And when you try to use that same password to send, its not working?
Hello Thanks for the reply.
Yup that is Precisley what i am saying, i tried generating another new wallet and the seed is displayed when you go to wallet...seed... But on this one it is empty and states (Please save these 0 words bla bla bla....)
Seems weird to me?
