jakkuh commented 7 years ago

I apparently changed my password althought I do not remember doing this but my password doesn't open the wallet anymore. I go to restore password and it gets stuck at "Working" forever. Whats wrong with multibit! :(

Here same issue... If -on another computer- I try to retreive the password, I get something like this.., image My password is readible at the end... but the rest of the string is rubbish. Probably this is the reason why I cannot access my wallet any-longer.

I tried this now on 3 Windows installations. And now also on an UBUNTU.

I have my wallet addres, private key, words etc. How can I transfer my wallet to another application ?

@Multibit ... get your stuff with regards to passwords bugfree. This is too important !! Maybe a clue : everything started when I changed my password to a more complex password, which started with '!' and ended with an '!'. Maybe this caused the issues which I am facing now ? MultiBit HD 0.1.5

Furthermore, I have the same behaviour as tivyhosting
