Make sure your keymap hasn't been changed, i.e. you entered the password with a en-GB keyboard map and are trying to enter it with an en-US keyboard map. Only really an issue with special characters. For example, a "@" on a UK keyboard becomes a ' " ' if I change the keyboard map to a US one.

Try variations on case and see if you have any keyboard keys which are not working well.  Maybe the 'e' of your keyboard is stuck, for example.
If so, a passphrase such as 'Here comes the sun' might become 'Hre comes the sun' or 'Hr coms th sun' and so on.

Hi everybody,
I have a qt wallet with some coins in it.
I have a very long pass phrase.
85 characters (I think)
Is there a limit on the amount of characters you can input on the Qt wallet?
IE. while I may have inputted 85 characters dose the wallet truncate to a lesser amount?
Regards and thanks.
