Are you using multibit classic or multibit HD? Do you have the multibit HD wallet seed words? If you have how many seed words are in your seed word phrase?

If you are using multibit HD 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.

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...

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.

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

After you get your private keys you can install electrum and import them into it using the instructions here.

If your wallet is a multibit classic wallet there are instructions for recovering it here.

I have used it for 6months now, with the same password everytime.

Now the same password does not unlock the wallet.

I have tried to restore the password using the private keys, it doesnt work.

Can you advise me how to do it ?

Is it possible to use restore my wallet into another wallet ?

There are many addresses as everytime I used to send and receive, multibit would generate a new wallet address

Can pay bounty for whoever solves my problem !!
