Passphrase not working since update to 0.15.1 #11768

Can not send BTC or change passphrase since updating Utilizing Bitcoin Core .0.15.1, but also reverted back to 0.15.0.1

I don't believe any wallet encryption-related code changed between 0.15.0.1 and 0.15.1. You tried the password multiple times and reverting to 0.15.0.1 worked instead?

I set the passphrase on 0.15.01, updated to 0.15.1 and now its not working. Reverted back to 0.15.0.1, still no luck.

That makes more sense. Obviously the most likely issue is having mistyped your passphrase when encrypting the wallet. You may wish to try a brute force tool to test variations on your passphrase.
