Password does not unlock wallet although 100% sure password is correct #753
Comments
Hi Jim, Thanks for responding so soon. I cannot reach the Help screen as I never get past the password dialog. If you need a log file, just tell me where to get it. Thanks Frank |
I just found the error logs files you asked me for. "WalletManager error: org.bitcoinj.store.UnreadableWalletException Could not connect 9022adfbef30a02049f073d919569b05f5cab21a964bfd96f13d01928dc195de to d52fb81a7948ea8b69fb0f6191d526c06e963c782b7aa4224160265a9c1bb7bf","logger_name":"org.multibit.hd.core.managers.WalletManager","thread_name":"safe-fixed-unlock-wallet-0","level":"ERROR","level_value":40000 More of the log, around this error: {"@timestamp":"2015-10-16T15:19:32.989+02:00","@Version":1,"message":"Loaded the encrypted wallet bytes with length: 29216","logger_name":"org.multibit.hd.core.managers.WalletManager","thread_name":"safe-fixed-unlock-wallet-0","level":"DEBUG","level_value":10000} |
Do you have any idea about a solution? My bitcoins are locked up now :-( |
We're looking into a fix for 0.1.5. In the meantime, can you try restoring from an older backup? Use the Restore button from the Unlock screen and follow the instructions (you'll need your wallet words). When prompted select an older backup from the drop down list of available ones. #765 provides details of another user's experience in this area. If this fixes it for you then it seems that the ongoing transaction malleability attack is a likely candidate. |
That did the trick! I tried older and older backups until I found one that worked. Thanks for your outstanding support! |
Happened with 0.5.1 to me. |
Just happened to me as well, also version 0.5.1. |
Same for me, version 0.5.1 When I'm trying to restore password, I'm getting just one message "working" on Restore password report... Waiting for 10+ minutes and still nothing. What can I do? |
This exact problem has happened to me now when i enter wallet words it wont even prompt the next button |
This has just happened to me too 😬 What's happened!? |
Me too :( |
This situation needs urgent attention by the developers. Here is the recipe for saving your money that helped me:
drumroll... BIP32 Extended Private Key - your first lifeline. |
Same exact issue here! |
SO i have my wallet words but they are taking ages to generate a password report. What should I do? |
Try to follow my steps :) |
It doesn't generate password! It's just stuck |
i have same fucking problem, i can't open my wallet .. beacause password is not valid .. and it is 100% valid, what is the solution ? MultiBit HD is a scam ? |
Same issue here! |
Hey folks. I recovered my coin but I will never be using Multibit HD. here is what I did. I found my wallet words, used the above BIP39 page to generate addresses like Multibit did. The BIP39 page will give you your public/private keys to each address. As coinbase will need the associate private keys to each address added. |
i have 10 k blocked in multibit wallet ... FUCK MULTIBIT |
@Scaltro In BTC? |
@smd75jr yes in btc, but solved 10 min ago with the words |
@Scaltro Thank god! |
Have same problem. Password 100% correct, but I can't login. Then I tried it on "bread" - it's ok. I can't restore wallet - its freezes, I also can't restore password - also freezes |
also what am i exactly waiting for? does the transaction get cancelled? |
sorrry for the question but i am really new to bitcon |
The only thing you can do at the moment is a transaction accelerator like viabit. For future transactions you can make transactions editable by going to Tools-> Electrum Preferences->Fees . Check Dynamic Fees and check Edit Fees Manually->Always This way Electrum has a way to change the fee after you've send your transaction. |
ok thank you i tried the transaction accelerator but it gives me a message saying what does that mean |
They only take 100 submissions per hour so try to submit right at the beginning of a new hour (xx:01) |
thank you sir |
it all finnaly worked out thank you |
You're welcome |
@ServPol Only found around 50% of my coins in the first 100 and nothing in the next 6000, now what? Really pissed off at this, spending a lot of hours trying to dig up how to figure this out and nothing. Bitcoin will never be mainstream, the average person is just never going to be able to go through this. |
@fkmbit you probably missed the same step I did. See #753 (comment) |
@magtak True, thanks, still missing a few though |
In the end only managed to sweep about 2/3 of my balance, and then I was able to access my wallet through breadwallet, so I would recommend that for anyone struggling |
Another way to recover your wallet. As someone said earlier, it looks like the wallet gets corrupted when MultiBit fully syncs.
The idea is that MultiBit should NOT sync until you regenerate AND login to your wallet. After that you can connect to internet and the sync should happen, including all your transactions. If this works for you, donations are welcomed :D --> 1HRPDVJqNGdJ9x3jPHtGwF76CVGhMkUkSx <-- |
KeepKey support is currently recommending the following: A known bug in Multibit is causing the error you are experiencing. Your funds remain safe and recoverable. Please recover your wallet with using Breadwallet or Simple Bitcoin wallet. They are both mobile wallets that work great with Multibit wallet word recovery. Breadwallet (https://breadwallet.com/) is available on App store and simple bitcoin wallet (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btcontract.wallet&hl=en) is for Android. We are working on other solutions for this issue and will advise when they are available. |
Good to hear that they are finally acknowledging the bug XD |
There are two bugs that prevent the use of the wallet for many users, but we have not been able to reproduce either. Rather than hold people up while we work on it, we decided it is better to give alternatives. |
I will share my broken wallet (it's empty) so you can reproduce the bug. How to reproduce:
See my previous post for how to restore. Happy debugging. Hopefully this will help the team and some people. |
@rsimiciuc no joy for me using this method unfortunately; when the wallet appeared to have synched (although not all transactions judging by what I could see in the background), I was prompted for the new password again, and again failed to login. I'm sure it'll get sorted, but consider myself lucky I've made modest purchases. |
@mrsean2k you have to login to your wallet before it syncs and while offline. Once you login to your wallet, then you can let it sync and transfer your coins to another wallet without problems. |
Similar thing happened to me on the 0.5.1 |
I'm having the same problem and I have just managed to restore my coins by following exactly the steps described here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/53797 FYI:
I hope it helps, cheers. |
It happened with me too. A bug not solved in 2 years, and closed ??? Please, developers of this wallet, switch careers to something else. How can you protect a wallet if you can't check a password? |
Thanks for your solution @ServPol it worked, I did send you a beers worth of BitCoins, so cheers mate. |
My reproducible method to recover the wallet from the seed words. The main point is that you have to login before it syncs.
This was a new wallet anyway, obviously I sent the small amount to a working wallet, and I will never use multibit. |
How is this issue solved? |
just download breadwallet and restore with your words there |
Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem I am, but I figured I'd post it since it has the same symptoms and a much easier solution. I was copying and pasting my password from my password manager and getting the same password problem that others were seeing. I noticed that when I pasted it into the password box to send a transaction, one more dot was appearing than I was pasting in. This was consistent. If I deleted the first character from the beginning of the password after pasting, the password worked. I'm not sure what the cause is, as I've just transferred all my bitcoin out of Multibit and therefore can't do further testing. I know I can paste elsewhere without an extra character showing up, so I doubt that it is my password manager. I'm on a Mac if that helps narrow it down for anyone. |
Hello, I recovered my 2 btc. I'm really happy now. |
@fkmbit Thanks, but I did not keep my magic words, it was a temp wallet, not meant for holdings. |
Yesterday I created a new wallet in HD and transferred my funds into it.
Today I want to access the wallet but the password is rejected.
I run the password recovery tool (with the wallet words) and the password is shown: it is 100% equal to the one I tried. But whatever I try, the message 'The password did not unlock the wallet' comes back!
One remark: this is on Windows 10 which updated/booted overnight with the wallet still open.
