What you should do is try to save your Bitcoin by :
1. Backup wallet.dat (optional, but recommended)
2. Dump all private key on your wallet with syntax on Bitcoin Core console by select Window -> Console

Code:
walletpassphrase yourwalletpassword

dumpprivkey yourbitcoinaddress

3. Download & install Electrum
4. Create new wallet
5. Sweep all your private key by select Wallet -> Private Key -> Sweep

P.S never share your private key/wallet.dat with anyone & make sure download electrum from official website (https://electrum.org/#download)

The error message is self-explanatory though. It seems that the QT wallet failed to decrypt some part of your wallet and suggest that it might be corrupt. Have you tried on another wallet/computer? If you sure the password is correct then it's highly likely you have a bad file.

I tried to unlock my wallet using the right password, but the bitcoin-qt MAC version gives me the following error:

Code:
Error unlocking wallet: some keys decrypt but not all. Your wallet file may be corrupt. (code -1)
