Password correct but Wallet not unlocking Multibit

[shamzblueworld]

I am using Multibit HD, the latest version, I opened the walled today in the morning and it worked fine. But now I am trying to open but it is giving me error that password did not unlocked the wallet. The password is correct, I know but still persisting with the error. What should I do?

It's a common problem. You can find various solutions to it in this thread.

The simplest solution is to install breadwallet on your phone and create a new wallet in it using your multibit seed words. Do you have a backup of your multibit seed words?

Thankfully it is solved by restoring the wallet to the oldest backup available, even restoring to a backup of a few months old did not work but then tried with restoring to the first ever backup made which was last year and it worked.
