By and large, there is a simple solution for those users who lost their 25th  password (aka passphrase/password ) but still have access to their funds via second PIN on Ledger. All they need is to send their bitcoins to new address which  is in their full control  (such address can be created with Electrum, for example) and after that send them back to Ledger address created with SEED and new password.
I don't think so, If the case the user shuts down the wallet, he must to setting additional passphrases first before access the wallet. because the passphrase only temporary in Ledger, when shutdown the user must setting back the passphrase in the security setting.


This is true in the case when  user don't peg the second PIN to his SEED+password  bundle and  shuts down his Ledger nano. But if he did it he can access his addresses hidden behind SEED and extra passphrase    by entering the bare second PIN. I use this method  because my passphrase is constructed to be very complicated and represented by the mixture of special characters, letters, digits and CAPs. So it would be difficult task to  put such password into Ledger nano as the way to access different symbols in this wallet is not an easy one.
