I’m sure. I can just keep trying passwords, or will it lock me out? I have no excuses for how ignorant I was not writing the seed phrase down. I just am lost right now not sure what to do. I’m a total noob ---

You have unlimited tries. I was locked out of my wallet for over 2 years until I found a screenshot of my password Thursday. I had the correct “password” in my head, but I forgot that I tried to be smart and wrote my “P@$$w0rd” all crazy like lol. Try that out. Good luck! ---

Sweet! Glad that everything worked out. 21k ADA is a lot of money. If you’re not staking it, you should find a reliable stake pool. There are many on here that can give you ~5% returns (~1,050ADA).
