Topic: Locked out of my account - page 2. (Read 1896 times)

Let me guess, you're getting "Password did not unlock the wallet" error? There seems to be an issue with MultiBit HD where having even one slightly "non standard" transaction associated with one of your addresses will cause the decryption process of the encrypted wallet file to fail... even if the password you are entering is 100% correct.

You can check the multibit log file and see if you can find an entry like:


If you get that, your only option is to use an offline version of the iancoleman website... put in your seed, change the "Derivation Path" to BIP32 and set the client to "MultiBit HD"... path should be m/0'/0

That will show you the main receive addresses/keys for your MultiBit HD wallet... you'll need to hunt through them one by one to find your coins... (could be hundreds of addresses to check depending on how many transactions/addresses you used in your wallet)... THEN, you need to set the path to custom and use m/0'/1 and look through all the change addresses associated with your wallet as well... (depends on how many transactions you sent from your wallet as to how many you'll need to check)

Once you find the addresses that still have coins... you can import or sweep the private keys for those addresses into the wallet of your choice...

If you haven't found the specific BTC address you sent money too, then either you need to show a lot more addresses on the BIP39 site, or that address is not associated with your account... if you look at te specific BTC address on a block explorer like blockchain, does it actually show the coins?

OK. So i think that there may be a problem with MB HD's software.. When I try to recover the wallet on MB it tells me that there is nothing to be recovered from the words I used, as if the words are invalid. When I go to iancoleman.github.io and search the recovery words information is retrieved, like the private key. So i can recover the private key and I also have the specific BTC address to which the money was sent. When i search through the above link however I get thousands of addresses so I have yet to find the one I sent the money to yet.. Ideas?

I'm referring to Multibit on the pc. I only bounce money through the wallet and I made a transfer to it now i'm locked out all of a sudden.

What account on what wallet? What web site or program are you referring to?

I did not write down my private key.

The problem was that a transaction came through and it said that it was confirmed at first but later it turned to unconfirmed. So I repaired the wallet and left the money it. It was a problem I had a lot.

If someone did somehow get my password what else would they need in order to access my account?

So first you have problems with your transaction is that right? And why do you have to repair your wallet if there is an unconfirmed transaction? :seems confused:
And lastly what is the bitcoin wallet or an bitcoin account you are saying, can you mention it here?

And conveniently we should guess what wallet you are referring to? please tell me that you also wrote down your private keys as well some where?
There is no locked out of account in any desktop wallet unless in case of wrong password.
I don't think you even posted in the right board which we'll find out after you provide more intel about your wallet and version.

I have been locked out of my account. Conveniently it was after moving 2k usd there. I write down my passwords, which are unique. I wrote down the twelve words I was given when I created the account and now all of a sudden I have been locked out of my account and the words recover no account. I have had problems with with confirming transactions very often and last I was on the account the btc recently moved there displayed as unconfirmed. So I had to again repair the wallet. I am 100% confident I am using the right password. Could this be a problem with the software? An error occurring with the wallet itself? Is there anyone who could try to help me out? Please and thanks.
