So about 6 months ago I decided to encrypt my BTC wallet (good thing). Set the password and all that. Since then I upgraded from 0.9.0 core to the latest 9.2.1. Now my wallet won't accept my passphrase. I wasn't exactly sure on password so I extracted the hash from the wallet and ran John the Ripper in a Debian VM and verified the passphrase. The wallet itself is on my Windows 2012 server (not sure if that's relevant or not). Every time I try to reset the passphrase or send my coin to my Armory wallet (either will do), it just keeps telling me that the passprase is incorrect.

So far I've ran -upgradewallet, -rescan and -salvagewallet switches on it but none of them are letting me access my coin.

I guess next up will be the fixwallet.py inside of my linux vm and see if that makes any difference but I've never used it before. Any other suggestions would be awesome!!
