I wrote down my password in 3 separate places.   I have checked all three, and they all match what I am typing in.  Also, since setting up the wallet, I have \"Sent\" money(Eth) several times using the password, so it was working.\r\n\r\nSuddenly the password isn't working and I am a bit frieked out.\r\n\r\nHow can I get my access back to my Eth????\r\n\r\nAlso..... what started this is I wanted to upgrade to the latest .9 version (I am running .8) and I thought I would throw my Eth on a different outside wallet for the upgrade, since I wasn't sure what would happen, never having done an upgrade.  That is when I found out that my password wasn't working.\r\n\r\nQuestion 1:  WTF is up with my Password!?!??!\r\nQuestion 2: Can I retrieve my Eth using the UTC file(?) - or any other method?\r\nQuestion 3: How does the upgrade work?  Do I just download and run the .9 version and it will overwrite things?\r\n\r\nI have also tried just entering it with a blank password field.  No luck.\r\nI have also restarted the node.  I even shut down and rebooted the entire computer.  No luck.\r\n\r\nHelp appreciated.  \r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ethereum/mist/issues/comments/182337849","html_url":"https://github.com/ethereum/mist/issues/155#issuecomment-182337849","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ethereum/mist/issues/155","id":182337849,"user":{"login":"keepdoing2","id":16846253,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/16846253?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2","html_url":"https://github.com/keepdoing2","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/keepdoing2/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-10T12:10:21Z","updated_at":"2016-02-10T12:10:21Z","body":"\r\n\r\nI think I can safely rule out options 1. 2. 3. listed above.  I was very meticulous setting up the accounts (I should note that I set up 2 accounts, and am having problems with both of them).  I wrote down the passwords in multiple places.   I've successfully used those written passwords to send funds before.   Add to this the fact that BOTH account passwords aren't working tells me it is something else.  And I am using laptop with no change in keyboards, and yes I checked caplock.\r\n\r\nIn an earlier post #131 I saw you made a comment to someone with a similar problem, where you suggest:\r\n\r\n_\"This might be an issue with the connection with the underlying node. So restarting should always fix it.  If you really need to recover your funds, you can simply start geth from the command line and follow the tutorials https://ethereum.gitbooks.io/frontier-guide/content/sending_ether.html\"_\r\n\r\nBut above you are saying to _download the 0.3.8 version again.  _\r\n\r\n**Before I do anything stupid, or irreversibly overwrite something I shouldn't, I want to make sure what I should consider as the best path.**  I'm dealing with about 400 Eth here, which won't break me but I'd rather not lose it if I don't have to.   The only thing I am certain about right now is that I a typing my password correctly.  I should add that my node appears to be syncing correctly, but then again, there have been a few times it has locked up upon loading, so I am wondering if data corruption has occurred, best way to deal with that possibility etc.\r\n\r\nThanks for your help."}}
