It's been syncing for days. I can't access my old wallet with 12 words any other way. What gives?

@gz4053 if you have loaded your wallet in fether or parity-ethereum in the past, the keystore files associated with wallet will be in your local filesystem in the directory described here: https://wiki.parity.io/Parity-Wallet#view-and-send-ether-and-tokens

you should be able to grab your keystore file and load it up into most other wallet software, given that you recall your password.

if you haven't ever loaded the wallet locally before, I can only recommend updating your local parity-ethereum (not necessarily fether itself!) and trying again.
