Re: Can't load one of my wallets . Multibit classic ,reward 1 BTC
Well thank you , but today my computer was hacked first time in my entire life . Probably one of two sources stealing bitcoins !

If it's encrypted you can still get the private key, but it's more complicated. These instructions should work.
Download this and extract it.
https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2k-x64_86-win64.zip
Put the extracted folder in your C: drive root folder.
Put your encrypted wallet file in the same folder.
Open the windows command prompt by selecting run as administrator.
Type the line below into it and press your enter key/
cd /openssl-1.0.2k-x64_86-win64
Type the line below into it, but replace Untitled.key with your encrypted key file's name and password with your password, then press enter.
openssl enc -d -p -aes-256-cbc -a -in Untitled.key -out Unencrypted.txt -pass pass:password
Open the newly created Unencrypted.txt file in notepad to get your private key.
In the example file below the private key is the bit in red.

or Find And Recover Software.
Its nothing else suspicious i have done , PEOPLE STAY SAFE!
I'm sorry you were hacked, but if you think the openssl windows binary file I linked to is malicious then read this post explaining why it's almost certainly clean. The short version is the openssl project does not release binaries, it provides a page of links to third party products. That file I linked to was from such a third party whose site is referenced by the openssl project website. A virustotal scan of the file is clean, and the third party providers have been distributing openssl binaries since 2003 without complaints. I'm sure the openssl website would quickly remove its link to that third party if there were any complaints.
This a post with the long version.

This is a clean virustotal scan of that file.

There are waybackmachine historical snapshots of the fulgan.com website openssl binary download page going back to 2003 at this link that prove how long its been distributing binaries.

This is a link to the openssl page with links to sites with binary downloads available.

Here's a screenshot of it showing the fulgan.com site that the openssl binary I linked to came from.
I never recommended you try "Bitcoin find & recover" software, the software I recommended is called btcrecover which well known highly trusted legendary members such as shorena recommend.
edit
Here's some fresh news from HCP about the "Bitcoin find & recover" software github.
It would seem that the "Bitcoin Find and Recover" github has been deleted (removed?)... The entire "Alex-Jaeger" account seems to have disappeared from Github... so I suspect that it is indeed the culprit. My instinct is telling me that the guy managed to steal some wallets and has deleted the github before people find the exploits in the the code...
The OpenSSL binary you linked is relatively trustworthy as HI-TEC99 has thoroughly illustrated. I have used it myself without issue.
It looks like looks like racezefi has indeed got hold of some wallets
Sorry for you loss, but hopefully this will serve as a reminder for people that they need to be ULTRA paranoid about running software that does anything related to their bitcoins/wallets/private keys... if you didn't check the code and compile it yourself, but choose to run precompiled binaries, you are potentially exposing yourself to the loss of all of your coins!
