At first I thought that the password(s) I was using were not correct, but then I made an observation, that only when I type only a specific password do I get this message in the popup:


 assertion failed<<<

 program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe<<<

 File: wallet/crypter.cpp, line 205<<<

 expression false<<<


 Runtime error<<<

I have a 2011 wallet.dat created in version 0.4.0 it accepts my password normally. but when putting in the current version of bitcoin core it doesn't work can you help me?

If I enter any other (not correct) password, it doesn't. I can enter 10000 incorrect passwords and the above error message does not appear.

At first I thought that the password(s) I was using were not correct, but then I made an observation, that only when I type only a specific password do I get this message in the popup:

```
assertion failed
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe
File: wallet/crypter.cpp, line 205 
expression false
Runtime error
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe 

```
