During sending money to another account the system asked me for a password and none of the password I could use was suitable.
I remember those several (12) words I had to white down when I was creating an account, so I ask for instruction to change my password for making trasitions.

  1. open electrum
  2. click "New Wallet" and choose a name to name it.
  3. Choose the option to "restore wallet from seed"
  4. Input the 12 words string you received when creating your wallet.
  5. Choose a new password that you won't forget, but that is strong enough to not be hacked.
  6. Done.
    Optional:
  7. If you want to have your newly restored wallet open by default when you open electrum, find your wallet folder (Users//Appdata/Roaming/electrum/wallets for Windows 7) and rename default_wallet.wallet file to something else (this is probably your old wallet you forgot the password to) then rename your newly restored wallet to default_wallet.wallet

Notes:
+The following will NOT be restored.
- All of your contacts in the contacts tab
- The labels (names) for each of your history entries
- The labels of receive addresses
- Any imported Private Keys (Keys that you added to your old wallet through the "Import Private Key" button)
