When you first created your wallet, the password you used is likely no longer needed. If you want to access your existing wallet address, you can recover it using the seed phrase. Leave the additional word slot at the bottom empty while proceeding, and you should be able to access the address you were using previously.

I have tried this and the wallet address I access does not hold the funds.
I did not make a mistake with address as I am familiar with the importance of having the correct address. As I said, the original XDC wallet required a password to proceed and so I set up a password. I have assumed when logging in again I mistyped my password and was still allowed to proceed . Because of this I used the address available to me not realising it was a different address from the one i used for the test transaction.

I have tried using the seed words and no password and it does not show me the funds.

Can anybody else help? Jay_blockscan?

Hello @devin_sanghavi_6da2fa1fc2,

Please note that, If you have entered a Password(Extra word), while creating your wallet then without entering Password for your Mnemonic/Seed phrase, you will not be able to access the same address. The password acts as an additional layer of security, ensuring that only authorized individuals can recover the wallet and its corresponding addresses.
