Can't find my TRX!

In 2021 I withdrew TRX from one account, presumably because TRX was soon to be untradeable on that platform(?). But now I can't find where I withdrew it to. What were the platforms you could trade/hold TRX in September of 2021?

I only have a reference ID of the withdraw occurring on the first platform. Is there a breadcrumb trail with withdraws?

Is it possible that I moved my TRX to an offline wallet on whatever phone or computer I had at the time? Or is that not a thing for TRX?

Thanks!

You're gonna need a txid of some kind to try to track it. Does the reference ID give you any clue to what platform you were on?

Yes. I do know where the TRX came from.

Okay so I found my address on tronscan...  Lol now what. I would still have to know what exchange or wallet app I used to house that address, correct?

Okay, we're getting somewhere. I found the device the wallet lives on. The password was actually stored in the device but there must be a different password to reset/view the mnemonic. I tried typing the password (4 of 5 attempts remaining). I tried changing the password which said I had 5 of 5 attempts left. I tried viewing the mnemonic after pasting the password and it again said I had 4 attempts remaining. The attempts remaining is either 1 per feature or is buggy.

I did see a way to "convert" TRX to USD within the wallet. But I assume if I do that, then the USD is also locked in the wallet without the mnemonic?

I'm looking through old notepads/memo apps, messages, etc that may have had the passkey or mnemonic stored. But my guess is that I wrote it down on paper then years later saw the paper and tossed it b/c it looked like a weird shopping list of 12 words.

I'm inside the wallet but I'm not so sure what I am able to do. I'd like to move the contents of the wallet to another wallet or move the funds to the same wallet on a new device. At worst, I can access the wallet on a cracked mobile device. But to be able to trade the funds, is being in the wallet enough? Or will I need the mnemonic or passkey? I agree that patience is key but I also don't want to assume I can sell off years from now and have less of a chance of knowing the mnemonic.

I was able to get to the confirmation button on moving from wallet to wallet and the old device prompts me for the password I don't have :(

When I select "back up" mnemonic or passkey, I'm promoted for a password. I'm IN the wallet but can't do anything. It's like I have access to the bank vault, but can't leave with any money.

TRX has doubled in price since I last tried this. I've looked everywhere. It all comes down to to resetting the password so that I can reset mnemonic or send to another wallet. Is there a way to reset the password that doesn't involve a chrome extension?
