Title: Doesn't accept password, impossible to do transfert ...
Post by: maxpenh on June 05, 2016, 08:41:51 AM
Hello,

Thanks for your time and your future reply.

I can't use my electrum wallet because when I want to do btc's transfert, electrum doesn't my password.
The problem is that it is my real password and I am sure about that because i use my wallet everyday ... Now it is blocked when I try, it is write '' incorrect password '', I don't know why ...

I made one transfert today and it worked good, 5 minutes after I tried to do second transfert and it is impossible ...

What's happen ? What can I do ?

Please help me!!

Friendly Regards,

Try to reinstall electrum but dont forget to backup your wallet.dat file. (Yes delete all electrum files except wallet.dat)

Uhm, electrum is not bitcoin core.

@OP restore your wallet from seed, set a new password.

I've been using Electrum for a long time, created several wallets, it's impossible you are entering the correct password.
Has your keyboard configuration changed? Can you type the password on a text editor, check it's right and paste it?
You don't have the seeds, right?
If you need to break the password, you can use btcRecover from Gurnec: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

Or my own project, that right now is just a GUI to make things simpler and uses the project above: https://github.com/Alex-Jaeger/BitcoinFindAndRecover

You could try to input the parts you are sure about and have either combine them in different ways to try open your wallet.

Hello,

Thanks for your several reply. I think it was just a little bug because I just close and open ( 2 times ) and it works.

I don't know what's happened but now it is ok.

Happy to see answer come quickly like this!

Have good day all!! :)

Can you tell what version of Electrum you are using and in which device exactly?
Why are you resurrecting a thread that is 4 years old? ??? The OP was posted in June 2016!!?! ::) ::)

I highly doubt that any issue the OP had 4 years ago is relevant to today's version of Electrum. ;)
