I'm pretty sure that I didn't set a password because also I don't want to remember or write anything. I thought letting the software and powering off will freeze the wallet. My friend has told me not to save the seed on any place expect the laptop to secure the crypto and I was pretty sure nothing will hurm the laptop or the ssd.
How about commands?
You may have "played" in the console and tested the command encryptwallet "passphrase" that will encrypt the wallet.

Your "friend" had given you a bad advice to store the seed in your laptop (seed, of which wallet?).
Seed phrases should be stored only in a paper, as much as possible, not in a digital form specially in the same device where the wallet is.
