I assume you’re looking for help? It’s not really clear what your exact question is. Are you sure you are using the correct password? Do you have a backup of the wallet (or a seed phrase)? Etc. The more info you provide, the better chance someone will be able to provide meaningful help.

Without the accurate password or the recovery phrase for the sending wallet, you're out of luck.

If your wallet-encryption passphrase doesn't work,

first you should check that you are not using a passphrase for a different wallet, not using a recovery-phrase as a wallet-passphrase, don't accidentally have caps-lock on or something silly but easy to overlook. Try variations of the passphrase.

ultimately you must use the safe copy you made of your 12/18/24 recovery seed words or the safe copy you made of your private key and create a new wallet to regain control of your bitcoin as.
