Hello all
I recently sent 3 BTC to my MultiBit wallet. I figured I'd change the password since I didn't change it in three months so I went ahead and did it, but after I tried to re-enter the password after opening it, it was wrong. I somehow managed to type the wrong password twice, identically and now I can't seem to remember what is was.
Before you guys have a go at me for how stupid I was to do that (it was really stupid), I checked my MultiBit folder and I found some possible backups in the "multibit-data" folder. Here's a screenshot

These backups must've been done around two months ago, meaning I had my old password then. If I simply copy the multibit.wallet file over my current one would it work? Or if I have access to the private key backups could I just import them into a new client and bypass the whole password process?
Any and all help is appreciated
