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.– user36303Jan 3, 2021 at 0:05

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