Of course I did not Wink The old wallet.dat file is still backed-up on several usb sticks and since no transactions have been done since installing the new wallet, I suppose they should still work.

So I should go for deinstalling Bitcoin client from my pc, delete the new wallet.dat file, download again bitcoin client, deleting that new wallet.dat file as well, putting the old wallet.dat file in that folder and open the bitcoin client?

If I do that, I suppose it will still ask for a password when I want to do a transfer, but this will be my old password isn't it?

And if I am not misstaken, the old password should work like it has always done.

Am I right in these assumptions?

Thanks!
