@bryan Hi Bryan Im having the same problem I have just downloaded my wallet and it had this error message pop up before I even tried to enter my password for the first time. I have made a copy and deleted the file/s, now downloaded another wallet but it just duplicated the same wallet and has the same problem. Not sure what to do?

Forgot to add ,I have a mac

@gibson77 Sounds like your password is incorrect.

@bryan thanks for your reply. Im 100% its correct unless I typed it in incorrectly twice. When I deleted the original file and downloaded the wallet again, the wallet reopened and was synchronised to 99.1% again just like the wallet when it opens. I thought I would have to create a new wallet from scratch to fix a corrupted files. Im conscerned as I have already deposited funds. Thanks for your help

@gibson77 You can delete the wallet and recover it again. You should just copy and paste the passphrase though. I couldn't imagine actually typing that.

pretty new to all this sorry. How can I actually delete it and without losing the coin?

@gibson77 Make a copy of your current file for back up then delete the original.

%APPDATA%\Sia-UI\sia\wallet

reload sia make a brand new wallet. Then do recover with your first passphrase.
