It should be work if the password from the image is right. Check the image carefully you might be typing a wrong or extra letter/character sample instead of small l you put a big I or 1 or instead of zero 0 you put O.

If not and you already tried all possible passwords then try to dump it using your password and pywallet.py. If you get the same issue when dumping your wallet there is a big possibility that your password on the image is not the right password.


Follow the guide from this link below on how to install the python dependencies and download the copy of pywallet.py from this link below.
- https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet

Then use this command:
Try it first without the password.
Code:
python pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir=. > wallet.txt

With password
Code:
python pywallet.py --dumpwallet  --datadir=DATADIR --wallet=WALLETFILE --passphrase=PASSPHRASE

You can find the wallet.dat file under this directory path

Code:
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin
or
Press this WinKey+R then type this %APPDATA%\Bitcoin
You should find the wallet.dat on that folder. Don't forget to get a copy of your wallet.dat before you dump it with pywallet.py

If successful you can import those private keys to other wallets like Electrum it doesn't need to download the whole blockchain.
