Nice story and happy that you muscle memory saved you in the end ! I actually had a similar experience. When I opened my account I wrote down my master password with a pen. The problem is that my handwriting is really terrible. There were about 5 letters which I was not sure was correct or not. I tried to for an hour with different combinations. It didn't work...
I put it away for awhile and then in the back of my head I was thinking that what if steem would take off and I lost my ticket? Well I didn't want that to happen so i tried again, patiently, and after a while it finally worked. I'm so happy I didn't give up that time hehe.
Thanks for sharing your story
