I created a wallet last year (12-Jun-2016) and I wrote down the Wallet Words. I didn't do any transactions, so the wallet is empty. I wrote down the password somewhere else and it happened that today I could not remember it. I have not used the MultiBit wallet since last year. In fact, I could not even remember I had a MultiBit wallet installed on my computer. Today I downloaded the latest version of the software and proceeded to upgrade the previous version.
I tried to restore my password, using the wallet words. I entered the wallet words and I was prompted to answer "what created these wallet words". How the heck can I remember something I was not told I have to remember when I created those words? Anyway, there are just two choices - Multibit, Lighthouse (BIP32) or Trezor/KeepKey device, Mycelium (BIP44). No matter which one I select, the Next button remains inactive, so I can't proceed further.
After being unable to restore the password, I started searching in all my old notebooks and I eventually found the password and I logged in into my wallet (unfortunately, it's still empty...). But if I had not found it and if I had some money into my wallet, how in the world would I have been able to restore the password?
I am still unsure if I am doing something wrong or is this a major weakness of the software?
