I had this same problem but I fixed it like this:
When it says password did not unlock wallet, make a new wallet (give it a different cloud backup location), after going into the new wallet for the first time, click exit/switch and select your original wallet. Password should work now.
Edit: Whoops, jumped the gun a bit. I didn't have the same issue as the OP, but I had the 'Password did not unlock wallet' bug.

Your wallet probably has a well known problem that's been discussed in numerous threads here. There's some solutions you can try in this quote. If you read through the threads in this board you will find more about the problem, and alternative solutions.
... your wallet probably has a well known bug. The simplest fix is to install bread wallet on an iPhone or newer android phone, and use your multibit HD wallet seed words to create a new wallet in it. Afterwards all the addresses and balances from your multibit HD wallet will appear in bread wallet, and you can send your coins wherever you like.
According to dfevvbox bread wallet running on an iPhone can only use 12 word multibit HD wallet seed phrases.
On the other hand, HCP says bread wallet running on an android can import both 12 and 18 word multibit HD wallet seed phrases.
Unfortunately bread wallet won't install on older android phones, but HCP says "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" installs on them and that it can use MultiBit HD seeds.
If you can't use any of those solutions there are detailed instructions for using an offline webpage to extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD seed words at this link.

Breadwallet won't work with 18 word on iOS it says seed should be 12 word
On the other hand, HCP says bread wallet running on an android can import both 12 and 18 word multibit HD wallet seed phrases.
I was honestly expecting it to say the same thing when I tried it on Android, but it worked perfectly with 18 words...

...f you have an older Android device "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" also supports MultiBit HD seeds (tested with 12 and 18 word seeds).

Where exactly is the bug outlined? Called? I see numerous mentions of it all over as "Password issue" but not exactly what the bug was. I do not know the exact pwd and can crack keys pretty easily but I am not finding it (ie we know what chars, how long etc, but it not being found). We have done it on a bunch of test cases fine.
I am trying to see how it could impact the hash used for cracking if at all. Add into the mix a non US non EN keyboard was used.
To clarify it was multibit classic wallet ~early 2014
Any help would be great.
Yo, wanted to thank you for your reply. I was in quite a bit of panic when posting, and was too unpatient to read the threads first.
I installed SimpleBitcoinWallet on my Android device, as breadwallet would only take eight wallet words. After syncing I had access to my funds again.
Thanks again

There haven't been many users who tested the procedure in SimpleBitcoinWallet yet, so it's useful to find it worked OK. However I wouldn't trust it for long term storage of coins. I'd install a desktop wallet like electrum and send my coins to that.

Hey, I've been using Multibit HD successfully for quite some time now. This morning I tried to open my wallet, but it got stuck on the loading screen.
Screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/rvSLf
It successfully connects to the Bitcoin network, and takes about 10 - 15 seconds to sync. After that, it's simply stuck on 'Wallet loading ...'.
Using wallet words to restore a previous copy does not work: instead of a few seconds, it takes about 30 minutes to sync, but with the same result.
Really would appreciate some help here, am clueless.
Thanks
