So I have friend who had some bitcoin stored with a ledger wallet. They used the function where you have a dummy wallet in case someone gets access. They still have their 24 words but the real wallet copntaing the bitcoin was also behind a pin number and a password , I think.
So when they tried to access the bitcoin they only were able to access the dummy wallet. They cannot remember the password.
Will they still be able to use the seed words in another wallet with the same derivation path, even if they also used a password?
Or will they need to remember the password too?
Thanks
The set of private keys created from SEED + password is different from that one derived from bare SEED. So to access his fund in another BIP39 compatible wallet your friend needs both things i.e. SEED and his used password, the single SEED will not help him.
