I was thinking we need the seed and the password to get access to those keys, and when i try with bitcoin password it worked, but maybe it does because was the password Electrum asked to configure the wallet. Then when i get access to those private keys i think for a moment i solve the puzzle and i posted here.

Electrum doesn't use the password to generate keys... it only uses the seed mnemonic. The wallet file password is only used to encrypt the data stored in the wallet file. You can setup a wallet without a password using that same seed and it will generate the same addresses/keys.

In any case, it seems you have missed the point of the OP. They were looking for a reliable method to be able to use an unencrypted Electrum wallet to determine the password of an encrypted version of that same Electrum wallet file. They were not simply asking you to "guess" or bruteforce the password for the wallet that they linked. Roll Eyes

And it would appear that odolvlobo has taken pity on you and removed their feedback.
