I couldn't find that message in the source code, which website did you download it from?

That v22 is out of date, the current version v25 is available at https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.  See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/101495/13866.

# Bitcoin core on macOS - shows "wallet is encrypted and currently locked"

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-07-20)

I downloaded the Bitcoin Core GUI wallet on my Mac. I then fully synced the node and imported my wallet's backup, which worked fine.

Now Bitcoin Core says, "wallet is encrypted and currently locked". I have the password for the wallet, but I'm not sure how to unlock the wallet. Is there a place to unlock the wallet?
