[Solved] wallet passphrase - pass phrase - Be Carefull - discusion

Pretty sure you have given one!
Do you remember entering a password when encrypting your wallet?
-
hi no i clicked on the encrypt wallet icon it did the job and nothing else

Hi stevetrac,
What happened about this, was it empty so you just downloaded a new wallet?
-
hi no it’s not empty and i canot seem to find a way to sort it . i write everthing down and i did not have a passphrase just my password which does not work. really peed off right now

There is no known bug where the Bitcoin protocol wallet generates its own encryption.
Either you or someone must have typed a password. Did you press one space?
Do you want to try starting the wallet with -reindex -rescan switches?
If that doesn’t work, you need to delete the block chain database and re download it.
If that doesn’t fix it I would try a scandisk? if windows incase the dat file has a temporary corruption.
If that doesn’t fix it the wallet has been encrypted and you don’t have the password.

Exactly.
The only other possibility, but not likely is that the wallet database got corrupted and you could try…
feathercoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet
