ALL and i say ALL PASSWORDS AND mnemonic phrase WRITE ON PAPER !
This info down should work for any crypto coin wallet and to do that to be 100% sure first try it with min amount of crypto in your wallet so lets say you have BTC wallet and you didnt do this ever first try to put in your wallet let say 100 satoshi then do the back up and delete your wallet then try to from that back up that you did instal new wallet and import that back up file and see do you have 100 satoshi in wallet if you have you are god to go.
If you are new in crypto the best for you is to download some multi coin wallet my suggestion is
Exodus Crypto Wallet install it only from source exodus web site for it you will need to make your password to get in and also you will get 12 word mnemonic phrase with it you can install your wallet on new device or if you forgot your password delete the wallet install new wallet input mnemonic phrase and your wallet and your funds are in your hands again.
Do some dry runs with exodus no need to put crypto in to see how it works!
