If it doesn't works,try to use https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet and then send payment to your new wallet.

If it doesn't works,try to use https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet and then send payment to your new wallet. That won't work because he wants to keep his address. Just needs it moved.

First type: walletpassphrase <your password> 600 The above will unlock your wallet for 10 minutes. You can then try your importprivkey. |
