I sent 2 BTC (also from 2014) from MultiBit Classic to Electrum over 3 months ago. One went trough within hours. The second one (a child of the first one) was stuck and remained unconfirmed.
After 3 days I managed to get it trough within 2 hours or so using the ViaBTC Transaction Accelerator. They do not have enough slots for everybody. The number of slots per hour are gone within a minute. The trick is to enter your Transaction ID within seconds after a new hour starts.
According to my knowledge moving BTC to a new client by simply sending them trough a regular transaction is even the best way to transfer them. Your BTC arrive in a wallet that has a seed. I haven't heard of any incomparability issues yet. If they really remain unconfirmed, they bounce back to you after a while. You won't loose them. I would recommend the highest fee possible in MultiBit Classic.
In Electrum 2.0, you cannot import private keys in a wallet that has a seed. You should sweep them instead. If you want to import private keys and not sweep them you need to create a special wallet that does not have a seed. For this, create a new wallet, select restore, and instead of typing your seed, type a list of private keys, or a list of addresses if you want to create a watching-only wallet.
Good luck!

Re: Multibit HD 0.5.1 the (correct) password did not unlock the wallet +Restore Fail
I had the same problem in december 2016. 2 BTC locked by MultiBit. I managed to get them back by the procedure described here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1733063.0
I think MultiBit HD should be taken offline. The password/lock problem has been described since October 2015 (1.5 years ago): https://github.com/keepkey/multibit-hd/issues/765

My passwort is not letting me in my wallet i already tried to change the passwort but that dosent work as well can somone help me pls?
Is this the error you get? "The password did not unlock the wallet".
Then, I had the same problem. Try to get your Bitcoins back from backups. If that doesn't work, follow this procedure from described by HI-TEC99 :

Re: HELP - Updating from Multibit Classic to Multibit HD ???? Too scared !!!
Hi All
I am still using good old Multibit Classic 0.5.18 BUT have been reading that it's now outdated and i keep getting error messages on ALL incoming transactions recently stating ' This transaction is not standard and should not be trusted'
?
This has only started recently...I am VERY used to Classic and store mt WHOLE multibit folder offline.
I am a bit confused on the process of upgrading to HD.....

Anyone advise ??
Thanks

Re: Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet"
Pfff... Thanks man! It worked. I've sent them back to MultiBit Classic. It has been stable for at least the 2.5 years I've been using it. The transaction has not been confirmed yet, but I think the confirmation will follow soon.
My conclusion is that as long as we do not know the cause of the password problem, MultiBit HD is not a serious application for any amounts of Bitcoin above $50. Let's face it:
MultBit encourages me to upgrade from MultiBit Classic to MultiBit HD because it's supposed to be safer.
- I follow all the migration instructions
- I've got 2BTC
- I've got my wallet words
- I've got my password 100% for sure
- My PC is well maintained, protected and free of viruses
Yet:
- MultiBit HD refuses to open my wallet
- MultiBit refuses to restore my wallet from backups. Not even on an other device
- This problem has been described over a year ago, yet it still seems to be a bug (?)
It felt like a back-stab to me. Not hackers, but MultiBit HD has "stolen" my Bitcoin (I think). My computer knowledge is above average. I've been using password protection since the nineties, using several applications, without a problem. I usually manage to solve computer problems, sometimes with some help from the Internet Community. But this even scared me. For many people solving this problem will be too complicated. As long as end-users have to use crypto-technology to get their Bitcoins back, Bitcoin will never become a main stream currency.
Also, a 32-Bit version of MultiBit HD is very difficult to find, while many people use cheap laptops with 32-bit Windows versions these days. No more MultiBit HD for me!
Anyhow, thanks again. You saved 2016 for me. Happy new year!

Re: Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet"
Thanks for your help!
Put the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box.
m/0'/0
Type your password into the BIP39 Mnemonic box.
With password you mean the 12 wallet words?
The page should automatically generate your extended private key and a list of receiving addresses for your wallet.
How can I use my extended private key and a list of receiving addresses for my wallet to open my locked wallet? Can you explain this step-by-step? This is complicated stuff for me.... Do you have any idea why MultiBit can't open my wallet?

Re: Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet"
Thanks for your reply, but what do you mean with "seed"?
Did you try importing your seed into electrum? I think multibit and electrum use the same type of seed. Good thing you stored the seed safely, do not panic your coins are not lost. Do not share the seed with anyone. Download electrum and try importing your seed in there.

Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet"
Today I migrated from MultiBit Classic to MultiBit HD 0.4.1. I received my 2BTC, so I thought everything was fine ... untill ... I restarted MultiBit HD.
After login in with my password i get "The password did not unlock the wallet".
- I checked the password with "I have forgotten my password" option and my password is 100% correct.
- I also tried to recover my wallet from the last backup with the wallet words. The wallet words are verified but after what seems to be a successful recovery, I get the same message "The password did not unlock the wallet".
- I also tried to recover my wallet from older backups, but this did not work either.
- I tried to download lighthouse, which should be compatible with MultiBit wallets and wallet words, but the site is down.
- I tried to recover my wallet on a 32-bit laptop, using a 32 bit version of Multibit HD (which was difficult to find BTW) but I get the same error: "The password did not unlock the wallet".
Note that my backup folder is on an encrypted TrueCrypt disk. The original wallet is just on my C:\\ drive. I keep the backups on a TrueCrypt disk to keep my files in one place and for easy backup purposes. I never had problems with encrypted disks though. They work just like any other disk. It worked with MultiBit Classic too.
I'm kind of panicking now. It's a lot of money locked in
This issue is described in some older threads, but apparently it is not solved?
