When I was trying different passwords, I was getting "Provided AES key is wrong" only for a specific one. No other password was giving me this same error message. I then concluded that this was the wallet password, that Multibit was working wrong and that some corruption occured.

I was wrong. gunrnec's tool helped me trying more passwords combinations to finally find the actual one, unlocking the wallet.

That's why I say that "Provided AES key is wrong" error message is not related to what I thtought was the actual wallet password. I don't know where it is coming from.

Like many others, I thougth I was remembering my password and blamed Multibit when in fact, I was not vigilant enough to write it on paper at the time.

I hope it is clear now... Good Luck !

Hello,

Big news. The "Provided AES key is wrong" error message is not showing when providing the proper password, it is unrelated. Like many other users, I dig and worked hard to find the real password... And I finally did, thanks to gunrnec tool :

Thanks to gurnec for the tool (thanks bonu$ coming your way...) and thanks to Spockrates for providing the link.

This seem to be a password recovery procedure... I don't see how it can help in the case where Multibit is corrupting some files. How many people are stuck with this problem? Can the old Multibit team do something about it? This is insane!

Hello,

I'm sorry, that tread is pretty long and I'm trying to see clear... Can someone please help me wrap this thing up? I have very basic programming knowledge.

I'm having trouble with Multibit version 0.5.16 on a MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

When trying to remove the password from the wallet using the proper password, Multibit is returning the following error message:

    "Provided AES key is wrong"

When entering any wrong password, Multibit is returning another error message :

    "Could not decrypt bytes"

There is a problem with Multibit since it will not unlock my Bitcoins when providing the right password. What is the solution to the problem ?

I've noticed that other users were experiencing the same issue.

I can't believe my coins will stay locked!?

Please help me! Thank you very much!
