Almost had a panic attack restoring a bitcoin wallet backup in bitcoin core. After restoring it I checked the wallet passcode by attempting to unlock the wallet for a couple of seconds and I wasn’t seeing the padlock icon unlock 😱

Turned out I just forgot to load the wallet after restoring so the walletparaphrase command was running against another loaded wallet, worst couple of minutes I’ve encountered in a long time 😂
