The wallet is electrum.
I still have been unable to resolve the issue.
The password was never changed by me. I have no idea why all of a sudden it won't accept my password to send the funds.

I can't find my Seed. I know it's written down in a Moleskin somewhere, but I just can't find it. So I can't use my Seed to reset the password.

Oww.. didn't you write the seeds somewhere as a backup except that moleskin? I think you have made another wallet and re-entered another password and you have thought that you're on the wallet which your funds was placed. If you have forgotten your password, there's no way for any person here to recover the funds unless you find that seed that you've kept somewhere. That will be the final resort to take back your funds but if you can't remember anything, sorry to say that it's lost. And another possibility as they've said, you prolly downloaded the fake one.

Try to log in from the passwords which you may have used. If your password is showing incorrect then you can use your wallet recovery phrase which has a backup and restore your funds. Also, set up 2FA for your recovery phrase. When you will use it will recover all the funds and stored it in a particular wallet.

The op already mention that the password he entered is incorrect and he is sure that he didn't changed his password. My opinion about what really happen is that the op used the real electrum wallet and the next time maybe a fake one. According to the op there are previous multiple transfer but next time unable to send.

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling using the same password and seed? Perhaps there is a corrupted file.

He said before that he can't even find his seed words...

@Tipsoggy
- Check you address balance on some bitcoin explorer to confirm you still have your Bitcoins
- Download latest Electrum wallet ONLY from official source
- Search again for you seed words, no seed/keys - no crypto

Which version did you use and how did you download. There are several "fake" electrum sites that will steal your funds.

Best practice is to sign your message offline and broadcast your transaction fron a separate device.

It looks like you have been a victim of using fake Electrum wallet. Have you updated your wallet recently, if so, from where have you updated it?
If you have changed nothing and you are using the legit Electrum wallet, there's no chance to face such an error.

Wait shouldn't you have had to input your password to open electrum before you wen tot send the funds? Then it asks for the password again once you try to make a transaction. I learned something new today about being able to use the seed to recover a wallet you have forgotten the password to. Looks like that's the only option you have is to find it, if you are absolutely sure you didn't do something like hit Caps Lock accidentally, I've been there over-reaching on the a's.
Good luck.

Edit: Forgot to mention as well.Are you sure you are using the most recent version of Electrum? Can't remember what the messages look like, but I hadn't used my wallet in a while other than to sign and verify messages. Then realized I was out of date, when I went to use some funds. I know it didn't say wrong password, but I was confused non the less.

It is not possible for password to change itself...
maybe it is lower or upper case letters thing.

One more bade thing dude... always keep seed word or private key in backup

I have 0.05 BTC in my account but I am unable to transfer them. I have multiple previous transfers. I did not make any changes. But bow it says incorrect password. Does anyone know how I can get help?

Have you fixed this? Incorrect password is a minor problem if you have the email you can easily reset it but it depends on the wallet like blockchain wallet you cannot reset password with a seed phrase. But if you have the private keys you can import it to any wallets that have an import feature.

Well then I think we all should stop trying to help this guy. This is a useless post and probably nothing like this ever happened. Newbies make such posts and forget everything about it in the hopes of stuff like this giving them more post count. I donno what policy moderators follow here and if they can lock this thread so more useful threads can keep getting bumped instead of this stupid one.

I'm afraid you're right. Even if he found a solution, most likely he won’t let us know.
Most likely, he simply entered the wrong password, and after the message on the forum, entered the correct one, solved the problem, and forgot about the branch he created.
Or maybe it was just a troll.

Youve been online in October 13, 2019, 12:26:19 AM but you havent answered on most people's question on here on which wallet you are referring into?

You can import keys on other wallets as well like Electrum for you to get accessed into those funds once again.If you do talk about some web-wallets password feature
then you do just need to make use of their lost password option if you dont have any ways left then the thing suggested by most people here is ideal.

You might have used the wrong password try resetting by clicking on forgot password if you are using an online wallet but if you are using a wallet that you have access to its private key then clear the data of the app and import the wallet back using its private key then it will require you to choose your new password.

How come that you still forgot the password of your wallet if you already made made money transfers before? You must already memorized the username & pw of your account after using it oftenly, it's impossible for you to forget it. Maybe you just mistyped your password or your maybe the passwords in your mind are shuffled assuming that you got more than one account. My advice is clear out your mind first and then naturally retype it because it works for me.

Hey mate, are you trying to withdraw from where?
Anyway, the title statement is absolutely clear.
"incorrect password"
Maybe do you have keyboard uppercase enabled?
Remember, password is hidden.
It could be you are typing with uppercase

OP we can't help you if you won't tell complete details. Answer our questions first.

1. What is the website / wallet you use?
2. If you haven't changed anything with that wallet, did you told your login details to somebody? or filled up using it with any online forms (google spreadsheet, etc.) if yes, there's a potential that it was changed by somebody else
3. Have you tried to forgot password and check it through your email? assuming that it was an exchange.

Can you please tell us more information and type of wallet you are using.
I hope you are not using some online wallets as you say ACCOUNT, maybe
you are using something like Blockchain and Coinbase (I don't recommend them)

It is better to use hardware or desktop wallets like electrum...they have no accounts.

Which wallet are you using?

Are you 100% you are using the right password?
Do you have a backup of your wallet seed? (if you are using a "seed-based" wallet)
