<p>Hey I think I know the answer already and I kinda screwed up I think I just want to verify. so I send BTC to my electrum wallet and I forgot the seed. I could not find it. but I have the private key and redeem script. is there any chance to restore or gain access to the funds or do I have to say goodbye for ever? thanks in advance if anyone has an idea otherwise I will have to accept my faith and add a learning experience to my repertoire. thanks in advance.</p>

what type of wallet was it? electrum doesn't let you input the redeem script when importing or sweeping private keys. however it may be able to generate the redeem script itself depending on the wallet type.

2fa means it's a multisig 2 of 3 wallet with 3 private keys behind each address and you need any 2 of those to spend. one private key will not be enough. if you have the wallet installed on your device you can try number 3 [here](https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-recover-access-to-the-bitcoins-in-your-2fa-wallet/).
