Mist - currently only cointaining one DApp "Ethereum-Wallet" - thus Ethereum-Wallet, is bundled with geth. Version 0.7.4 comes with geth 1.4.4.

Please try out the wallet. If this is not working try geth standalone. On terminal run geth --unlock <account>.

Also please have a look at this and report back here! #669

I will close this for now, but will stay here to assist you in problems regarding Mist/geth.
Also make sure to try this update of #669:

if you still can't unlock your account try this service: https://www.myetherwallet.com (they implemented a "wallet viewer" following the official wallet-specs; it's client-side; source-code)

Hey luca.

still no luck.

The accounts were generated in first week of august last year on the
frozen geth release, ubuntu14.04

Is it possible the keystores may have been altered?

5 accounts have balances

all accounts have same password.

I loaded geth 09.36 and tried to unlock accounts using all three of my
standard passwords (geth wouldnt sync) but i would get mac errors
indicating pwd decrypt issue.

i used

for ( var i = 0; i < eth.accounts.length; i++ ) try { personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[i], "password"); console.log("unlocked " + eth.accounts[i]); } catch (err) { console.error("Unable to unlock account: " + eth.accounts[i] + " " + err); }

to cycle accounts through individual passwords, and get MAC error at
each iteration.

the keystores were generated on an ubuntu machine, copied to usb in aug,
then eventually transfered to windows 7 machine.

is it possible that windows would change the keystore files in any way?

Is the filename required to be not changed? ( i added act balance to
keystore file name)

would you be able to look at one and tell me if is corrupt?

thanks,

dumbfounded.

(password was written down so something doesnt jive)
