you must be using a different electrum version of me I have the tails version

That probably explains it, I'm using the windows version. However the dev keeps changing the GUI, so one version might look different to the previous version even on the same operating system.

no the funds that are locked in do not have the same addresses. your refereeing to the address under the address button right?

I'm referring to the addresses shown when you click the address tab with the mouse pointer hovering over it in this screenshot. If you scroll to the bottom of that address window, then click the triangle next to where it says "change" extra addresses should show up.

my version has previous addresses listed in history if your talking about transaction history with addresses. and yes im connected to a server the light is green.

Have you checked the change addresses and used addresses to see if they contain your coins? If you sent coins from any of your original addresses electrum will sent what's left over to a new change address each time.

At the lower left of your electrum wallet window there should be a little triangle that you have to click to see your change addresses. It's next to the mouse pointer in this screenshot.

I meant If the addresses after restoring the new wallet are the same as before doing the restore process. If it's the case, have you tried to export the private keys and import them somewhere else (another wallet)? that should do the trick.

I'm assuming that you are using Electrum? If so, which version? while recovering your wallets, are you sure that you are connected into a server? and If you check the receiving tab, do you see addresses that you have used before? (If that tab is no longer available in the version you are using), try use the listaddresses() command in the console.

so the problem is I forgot the password to the wallet but I do have the seed. but everytime I press the new/restore wallet button and put in the seed it just creates a new wallet without any of my funds. and the password dosent change on the my funds are in.

how can I restore my wallet without simply creating another one because ive tried this like 7 times and now I have 7 useless wallets. Huh
