few steps to try before sending anyone your wallet or downloading anything.

1. double check you keyboard is in the correct reigon setting..  Sometimes programs change this from US to UK or vice versa. meaning symbols are on diffrent keys.
2. double check your spelling.. try typing your password into notepad to make sure its 100% right and copy and paste.
3. double check your uppercase and lowecase letters.  surprise you how many times people mess this us..
4. do you have your seed?  you should be able to recover from your seed if all else fails.
5. be carefull where and who you send your wallet to make sure they come highly recommended and be very careful in downloading any sort of cracking tools.

From what you've described, you seem like you vaguely know your password already.
What shorena linked should be a good place to start.
I would avoid dealing with other people when your private keys are at stake, try to solve the problem yourself first.
