and get error saying Private Key for Address ****** is not known (code -4)

You probably created a descriptor wallet. I understand there are good reasons for Bitcoin Core to switch, but I find it annoying to deal with. Getting a private key is a lot of work.

I'm not even sure if the latest version still allows non-descriptor wallets, so I just used version 26.1. That link shows how I did it from the command line. In short:

Code:

~/bitcoin-26.1/bin/bitcoind -noconnect -deprecatedrpc=create_bdb -datadir=/dev/shm/bitcoin
sleep 5 #wait a few seconds
~/bitcoin-26.1/bin/bitcoin-cli -named -datadir=/dev/shm/bitcoin createwallet qr descriptors=false
~/bitcoin-26.1/bin/bitcoin-cli -datadir=/dev/shm/bitcoin getnewaddress

Running windows 8.1

Are you sure you want to be using outdated Windows software for this?

Same problem for me too and i know the password is correct. I get "null" in bitcoin core when I execute "walletpassphrase" command.

That's normal: it worked. Just continue what you wanted to do.

You did just reply to a post from 11 years ago. The last reply from mot477 was a necro-bump.

Hello,
Same problem for me too and i know the password is correct. I get "null" in bitcoin core when I execute "walletpassphrase" command.
Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to send?
Null is the proper response as @LoyceV said.
