Interesting. There were 3500 genesis block holders and apparently only 1450 have taken their holdings out onto the ETH chain. So 2000 more have their ICN either on the ICONOMI ICO site or at Kraken.
And my Ethereum Wallet tells me .... Wrong Password....... and I am sure i put in the right one...... pfffffffff
Do not move your ICN tokens to your existing ethereum local address until you get your password issue sorted out.
Here is my guesses on what could be happening on your end.
You say that you are sure of the password but ethereum is giving out password error messages.

Do:
1. Check to make sure that you didnt enable CAPS lock by mistake.
2. If your password contains numbers and you like to type them using the NUM lock keys then make sure the NUM lock keys are enabled.
3. Still having issues? Ok then make sure that a key in your keyboard hasn't gone bad, open up notepad, Microsoft Word or whatever word processor and then type your password plainly there but do not save it. Here you will test to make sure that what you are typing is indeed what's being typed all with observing that case sensitive characters are indeed being typed with the right case (test that both SHIFT keys works one by one SHIFT key doesnt work then exclusively use the other). If you conclude that a key is defective then use the on screen keyboard that comes included on all major windows versions and retype your password using the on screen keyboard. Be sure to retype your password with Capslock on (inverted) maybe when you had originally created your password you had caps lock on. Succeeding this time? Retry again into your Ethereum wallet and hopefully no errors shows up this time?
4. Still having problems? and your Ethereum address holds no ETH and no ICN because you havent sent your ICN from the ICO site then you are better off just moving your current key file inside the Ethereum (or the other ethereum ....... directory inside your windows user profile appdata/roaming directory there will be a folder called Keystore whatever is inside that folder move it to:
C:\BACKUPS\keystore while the Ethereum client is fully closed, when you restart the Ethereum client is going to walk you thru like you are a new user, a brand new keystore file will be created and ethereum will prompt you to create a password, create one this time one that you won't forget, check or uncheck that box so you can see what's the password you are typing
5. Add the Iconomi contact adress under watch contract under contract.
6. Take note of your new ethereum wallet adress and head over to the ICO site and just sent over 1 ICN Then close and reopen ETH to see if it arrived, if it did then send it to your Kraken ICN address you will be doing this because there isn't much other circumstances where the Ethereum client will prompt you for your password, type your password (you sent 1 ICN from your Etheteum client to your Kraken account as a password test). If you succeeded then:
7. Sent the rest of your ICNs from the ICO site to your Ethereum client and be sure to keep adequate backups of your new Keystore file. When reinstating from your backups you will have to re input the Iconomi contract address under watch contract.

Thank you for this, I tried all but nothing seems to work.
Maybe the password was to short and it will never work again.
