I Downloaded a paper wallet using electrum and its asking for a password that I never set

What shall I do? I need to send the lite coin to an exchange

does the paper wallet private key start with the number “6”?
most likely the password that logs you into your computer is the passwrd that is set if you never set a password on the wallet your self…
this is a (known only by few) problem caused by bitlocker which comes with windows…

which operating system are you using? windows, mac or linux?
