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!

Well, in my case, what I thought was corruption was an incorrect password. But no other method would give me the "incorrect password" message.

I was finally able to open the file by using BTCRECOVER to find the password. It turns out what Multibit was implying was the right password, actually was not. BTCRECOVER allowed me to enter parts of what I knew were in there and it tried a bunch of different combinations.

Hope this helps somebody!

I get this:

Code:
The private keys unlock failed. The error was "Could not understand address in import file".

And that is a MultiBit classic .key file?

Does the script generate a "parsed_wallet.txt" file? Does that file have some "encryption" information at the end like the salt and iterations and encryption type?

Hey, thank you for replying!

It's a Multibit classic .key file and I don't see a "parsed_wallet.txt" key. There's no information either.

Running:
Code:
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -p -md md5 -a -in multibit.key -out newtest.txt

Gives me:
Code:
salt=2160B0AD6A6A5181
key=B0C5233E10A1227719077F3D5195ED45A5ABDEA796286F46120F2F86EF271251
iv =78A8C8A78F60194F0D44751683E1EC6A

But a file that again is jibberish.

ANOTHER EDIT:

If I run:

Code:
openssl enc -d -p -aes-256-cbc -a -in multibit.key -out test5.txt

Like it says to here: https://github.com/Multibit-Legacy/multibit/wiki/Export-and-limited-import-of-private-keys

It gives me this:

Code:
salt=2160B0AD6A6A5181
key=5340CEB7D94A3FE9754832332D9F3956B17B296E548FBCC85C74D4B658F72329
iv =BD773CE174D69C8716DB6264CDECD550
bad decrypt
20756:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt:crypto\evp\evp_enc.c:536:

Though, I'm pretty sure this is the correct password as it's the only one that doesn't get the password error when I tried to unlock in Multibit classic. Instead it gives me:

Code:
The private keys unlock failed. The error was "Could not understand address in import file".

I'm having a similar problem and have tried everything in this thread.

Running the script on my Multibit key file generates a string of characters that I don't quite know what to do with. 72 characters long, lots of this sort of stuff:
Code:
WáIΦB

Any ideas? Thanks!
