I seem to have forgotten my passphrase but I still have my 11 word seed.

I also have NXT installed and can see my NXT adress and see the total Ardor assets in NXT Desktop.

Is there anyway for my to figure out the passphrase?


this message pops up on dashboard main:
Warning!: Your account does not have a public key! This means it's not as protected as other accounts. You must make an outgoing transaction to fix this issue. (Set account info, send a message, buy an alias, send NXT, ...)


maybe 10-20years from now I can brute force passphrase with strong PC?

The word seed generated by the Nxt client IS your passphrase. Not sure what problem you experience, can you provide more details?

So I have to type in the 12 word seed to send Ardor?
I tried typing in the 12word seed as passphrase but still says incorrect passphrase, damn I might have just lost my ardor

You have to type your passphrase. The Nxt client generates a word seed which is the passphrase. The passphrase can be anything, but for new users this automatically generated word seed is a very good choice because it has high entropy and impossible to bruteforce. If the passphrase is lost, access to the account is lost in most cases. You're your own bank.

I wrote this passphrase twice, I saw that the first time I wrote it down I missed one word, but second time I wrote it down it has all the 12 words.
but it's not working, maybe misspelled word or wrong order of one of the word.

these are all small letters, no capital letters I assume?
