did it across several PC's who's never had a wallet installed in them, all fresh twice.
same issue.
Also someone please explain the set password everytime you import a seed already? why does it allow all passwords you input on an old wallet.
With your seed words, you restore the access to your coins. You do (technically) not restore your old "wallet". A wallet is only a tool to access your coins. That is why your seed words are so important. They allow you to get access to your funds. You do not need ANYTHING else. This is valid for all CN-based coins.
So save them very well.
