I've finally managed to get access to the wallet. Fortunately, even though the passphrase prompt was stored using unicode, the password itself was typed in using english keyboard layout, so it is just my inattention, sorry about that

How did you manage to do create it with that password to begin with?
I just put it in. That's it Smiley Now when I try to change or disable the passphrase and if I put a wrong or empty password, armory tells me that previous passphrase is not correct. And if I put a correct one, armory does not say anything, but does not change or disable the passphrase either.

Hi guys, I have armory wallet locked by unicode passphrase. When I try to open it or change a passphrase I have these errors in log file:

Code:
2017-12-08 09:56 (ERROR) -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/armory/qtdialogs.py", line 1507, in changeEncryption
    origPassphrase = SecureBinaryData(str(dlgCrypt.edtPasswdOrig.text()))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-3: ordinal not in range(128)

2017-12-08 09:57 (ERROR) -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/armory/qtdialogs.py", line 305, in acceptPassphrase
    self.securePassphrase = SecureBinaryData(str(self.edtPasswd.text()))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-3: ordinal not in range(128)
How can I get access to this wallet?

Thank you, Dmitry
