Not able to import used presale wallet
I am used to import part of my presale ethers using Kraken's presale importing tool. There is 0.07 Ether left in my presale file. Trying to import this wallet into Mist gives me "wrong password" error.
than thats probably it ;) -> wrong password.
It works for my one and others..
@frozeman No. If I try to re-import using Kraken's pre-sale import tool, my password is correct, and it shows I have 0.07 Ether left. If however I import the same file with same password, Mist gave me "wrong password" message.
This is the second user reporting a similar issue.
I'll implement a "show password" feature on the next version, so we can be sure it's not a password typing error..
@TT1943 unless there's some personal information, would you mind sweeping the money out of that account and then providing us the wallet and password to help us debug it?
Louis we are looking for a presale wallet giving that error to be able to debug it. Have you been able to empty it? If so, would you volunteer your file?

@alexvandesande sorry, the password I am using is personal, so might not proper to share it with you even if I emptify it. May be you could try to compare your code with what is written by Kraken to see whether there is any difference. The Kraken importing tool is open source too.
@TT1943 mist works completely different than the kraken tool and has other layers in between which could cause the issue.
The only real way to try it is when i can test it on my system myself. Though i fully understand that you might not want to share your password. Maybe we find somebody else, who has a generated password, which he is ok to give away..
Sorry, It has a non random password.
Thanks

@alexvandesande @frozeman I have the exact same issue described. I'd b happy to donate my presale wallet to science ;-) It's (almost) empty and the password is generated (has all sorts of special characters in it). Maybe that's the issue? Where do you like me to send the file to?
I have the same issue. My password is generated by Safari/Keychain Access consisted of uppercase and lowercase letters, hyphens and numbers.
I (and another friend who reported me) had also a problem importing the crowd sale file (wrong password). Using OSX 10.9.5. Tried with 3 different presale files. Using kryptokite wallet it worked than luckily. Please fix that urgently! It's really a shocking experience!
I'm getting this problem too, can't import presale wallet into mist due to wrong password error, but I know the password is correct because I can import the presale wallet into geth no trouble. I'm on 64 bit Linux Mint 17 with kernel 3.13. It was a shocking experience for me too! It took a long time to figure out how to install geth and sync the blockchain to see that it worked ok there.
I just noticed the comment above about passwords containing "$", my failing password has a $ in it too...
Likewise. I just spent the morning freaking out. After using, https://github.com/ryepdx/pyethrecover I found that my password is in fact correct, despite Mist telling me otherwise.
Note: I use an exclamation mark in my password.
@frozeman Could it be that somehow pasting the contents of the clipboard is not quite working right in Mist? I was using a password manager to copy my password to the clipboard and then paste it into the password field.
I have the same issue, i will now try kraken to get my presale wallet in there, hopefully it will work there
Same issue for me. I checked my password using pyethrecover.py and it is indeed set to what I thought it was (after much worry). I've also checked that I can get the private key using pyethsaletool.py and that worked too. Mist tells me that the password is incorrect. The only character in my password that I could think might be causing the issue is the ! character.
If you can use the command line then you can import your presale using geth as this is likely a Mist issue. Follow the instructions at ethereum.org/cli and ethereum.org/ether

@alexvandesande: I really would expect that Ethereum devs gives higher priority to that issues! It does not give a good impression to the projects quality and reputation to react after 3 weeks to such an urgent issue by referring to the command line tools. And you know, if 1 person reports an issue there are other 10 who don't. So the invisible damage is much larger.
Can you try the latest release? https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases/tag/0.5.2
Is anyone getting the "your computers time is out of sync" error when updating from 0.5.1 to 0.5.2?
Syncing my clock didn't help me... in the end i imported the wallet using the command line tools as kraken didn't work for me either ... UX of that kind of sucked ;-)
This is still broken in 0.5.2 on OS X. Kraken is able to open my wallet, Mist claims 'wrong password'
This is still broken for me too on 0.5.2 on OSX. Mist claims 'wrong password'
