Hi alanl12188648, 

If you have forgotten the password. Sadly, there isn't much that can be done.

You may create a new digital Id to sign a document: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/digital-ids.html

That didn't answer the question.

I am also dealing with this. The password is correct. Yet it says it is not.

Exactly. Correct password, says it's not.

I have faced the same problem, I generated a key pair with a password but when I tried to sign the document (or add the certificate as default), Adobe Acrobat said that the password was incorrect, I have checked many times this password (using Keystore Explorer or Windows build-in services) and all correct.

I dont know if your problem was solved since then but I just had the same thing happen and it worked when I closed out the file and opened it again.

As a variant, I can advise adding your key to the Windows key store via "certificates import Wizard" and then it will be available in the default list of certificates for sign.

I am having the same problem as described above. Can you tell me, how this workaround you mentioned works?
I imported my Certificate + key into windows Key store, then it also shows up in adobe for import but i do not know how to use it for signing?
