Hello All,

so this is probably a Noob question but i would really appreciate the advice.

I have been using Electrum for a little while now and so far its functionality i have been impresssed with. HOWEVER now i have a slight issue. Everytime i go to send from my wallet it asks for a password, I have input the CORRECT password and yet it ALWAYS states it is incorrect? I tried to take the seed from the wallet itself in the wallet dropdown box and i input the password there and it opens the seed window yet it shows the seed has 0 words?
How do i save my wallet? I want the funds out of it.

And heres the thing, i wonder if this is actually a system issue because i went and got a BRAND NEW laptop yesterday. Ran them both side by side. I installed Electrum on the new one. Opened a new wallet. INPUT A VERY SIMPLE PASSWORD and then i tried to send a small amount as a test and guess what? INCORRECT PASSWORD!!! How can this possibly be? The password on the test wallet is so simple even a chimp could guess it!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as i urgently need to gain access to my main wallet.

Thanks again
