Re: Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required]

I recovered my bitcoin qt (0.85,32bit) wallet.dat (999 424 bytes) with pywallet in June. (salvage error)
I used the same password/passphrase at recovery.
i installed Armory but probably not created any wallet with it (no entry in armory log and no .wallet on my computer)
I installed Bitcon Core (64 bit), probably that caused the salvage error that i copied my wallet.dat file  :  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667168.msg7534327#msg7534327
The bitcoin core/armory/0.85 datadir changed many times , because i have no enough space on C.
Last week i opened Bitcoin (probably bitcoin Core, not the 0.85) but got an "error salvage" again, i replaced the wallet.dat (999 424 bytes, corrupt file) with another wallet.dat i have found (712 704 bytes) and the Bitcoin Core opened, but i was not able to send btc because my passphare is wrong Huh

I recovered the corrupted wallet.dat (999 424 bytes) again the same way earlier but this new wallet.dat is only 278 528 bytes  (more less than 712 704 bytes, i have found earlier, i do not understand why is 500 000 bytes difference between these 2 wallat.dat , should be about the same )  i could load it into bitcoin core but i cant send any bitcoin , passphrase is incorrect ,   available balance shows that probably i did not make any new transaction ( i use the passphrase that i set at pywallet dump recovery , i cant imagine that i modifed passphrase or reencrypted my wallet with bitcoin qt after it loaded)

I tried to recover wallet.dat (712 704 bytes) with pywallet, but the passphrase is wrong.

What is happening here?      

I am sure (99%) that i gave the same passphrase at my first recovery, and after i recoverd my wallet.dat 99% that i did not make any transaction , so probably i would not have been able to make any transaction in June too with this recovered wallet too.

1% is that i gave another passphrase than earlier, i tried at least 50 passwords, but none of them was good,  earlier i used 12 characters , which is only 6 but repeated twice
(What is the shortest lenght for passphrase?   if 12 then my (new) password is only 6 but  repeated  twice )

please give me some hint , thx
