**You are more likely to be offered assistance via this forum if you are polite and have some degree of patience. KeePass is a superb free application and all of the contributors to this forum provide free support in their own time as and when they can. **

Despite the tone of your second post I will attempt to find out more about your problem.

You have provided very little information.

I am guessing from your first post that you are using Windows.

Please let us know:

• What Operating System you are using?
• What version of keePass you are using?
• Do you use a Key File as part of your composite key?
• When was your KeePass database last used successfully
• What have you changed since then, e.g. have you changed your Windows Password, or are you using a different account?
• Did you link your KeePass database to your Windows account?
• Have you tried to restore your KeePass file from a backup file and with what result?

That message indicates that the master password / key you provided is not correct for the database. If you are using the correct password you may be attempting to open the wrong database.
Display the password - click the 3 dots button on the right - and make sure it is correct.
Make sure no other boxes are ticked.

cheers, Paul
