I have the same issue here, I think the problem is related that after the latest upgrade it won't accept too easy password. For example when creating account with the wallet app it rejects but if we create using mist browser it accept but then it says wrong password

To reproduce the bug create an account using mist with a simple password and try to vote

My PW is not easy.. It has symbol and all it need to be safe..
I have a lot of money in their:( little panic over here:(

I checked other issue and my problem was not enough ETH, seems the bug is the error message, maybe all errors will be shown wrong password. You can always try to unlock your account using the geth console or the wallet app and check if it works

[stic82]

have try to send 1 eth..
which wallet app?

by the way thanks for your support:)

Hi @stic82,
the current "wrong password" alert is broken, as the error string emitted by geth did change.
Possible errors are as following #664:

• could not decrypt key with given passphrase (wrong password)
• multiple keys match address (multiple copies of the same account)
• Insufficient funds for gas * price + value (not enough ether in etherbase account to invoke contract transaction)
• Unable to connect to socket: timeout (node terminated, etc; used to be CONNECTION ERROR)

The ongoing PR is #959.

In future releases we propose to use error codes to ensure consistency and compatibility to other nodes.

Try to rule out all of the above, fall back to 0.7.3 or look through the following recommendations #669.

Yeah I'm having a hard time deploying a contract. Just to test, I typed my password into notepad, copied it to my clipboard, created a test wallet on testnet, pasted my password in, works fine. Then I go and try to deploy a contract, paste my password in, it says wrong password. So should I just switch to 0.7.3?

[stic82]

My Password was right. Was able to use it. Think it has to do with wrong error message.

Could you please have a try with 0.8.1 and post its error message?

[luclu]

Could you please give the geth account update command a try?
This might be helpful as this post suggests.
