I lost my wallet seed and private key, but I do have the password to the wallet. Currently, the wallet is saved as a watch only wallet. Is there a way to recover the wallet with the password?
ive you used a software wallet like Electrum or MetaMask? and if the private key was once stored and encrypted, some wallets may allow recovery using just the password if the wallet file still exists.
Yeah the problem is the wallet file was only saved as read only. I regret putting in 1.5+ LTC in there without checking ngl.
Have you seen this:

You need to create the master key:
Unfortunately, if you only have a watch-only wallet and the password, you cannot recover the private keys or seed. The password only protects access to the wallet file but doesn’t store the private keys in a watch-only setup. To spend funds, you need the original seed or private keys. If those are lost, the wallet can only be used to monitor addresses, not to move funds. Always keep backups of your seed phrase and private keys securely to avoid this issue.
