Hi yes that worked!

The top one needed installing but the others were already installed.

The decrypt kep.py works and it asks me for the password but the one I am using does not work. Is this because its not 100% correct like I thought..?

The decrypt walletkeys.py works too I tried that and it asked me for the password, when I enter it it just removed the key sign and left me with a black line below with cursor, after a long wait it said incorrect password again. You can see what it looks like after I have entered the password:


simons-MacBook-Air:~ simonhunt$ python /Users/simonhunt/Downloads/multibit_recovery-master/decrypt_multibit_classic_walletkeys.py /Users/simonhunt/Library/Application\ Support/MultiBit/multibit.wallet\ \(original\)
File NOT Encrypted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keys are encrypted
This wallet file is encrypted, please enter its password:



I will try all the variations on my password in the decrypt key.py.
When doing this can I type them out in txt editor and then just cut and past them into python even though it does not show the txt? Then I can be sure of which ones do not work.

Also I read some other post about using python to crack the password if I know what it is but typing it wrong. Should I give this a try or keep typing variations into the decrypt key.py script?

I have 2 multibitDATESTAMP.key files in my wallet data key-backup folder. The dates stamps are only 4 days apart in 2013. Is this normal and which should I use or try both?

(I am so massively grateful for your help so far and I have learnt so much thank you.)
