2Since anyone with the word list can recover the monero, make sure you keep it secret until you've transfered any monero in that wallet, since it bypasses any password. – user36303 Jan 03 '21 at 00:05

You can recover a wallet with just the mnemonic seed. This should help: How can I recover a wallet using the mnemonic seed?
