I'm trying to use thre recover stuck fund process but it does not seem to be working.

when I upload the Json file it shows Unspent funds: 3.25788220 BTC.

then I enter a password and bit coint address click the check box but get a mesage saying The transaction could not be signed.
Please make sure you have entered a valid BTC address

Can anyone help?

    Can you open the console (shift+ctrl+I in chrome) and tell me what javascript error you get? Are you sure you're entering a bitcoin address and not an ethereum address?

    If nothing else works, then there is a more technical procedure that will very likely work:

    1. Download https://github.com/ethereum/pyethsaletool
    2. Go into the pyethsaletool directory, and run python pyethsaletool.py getbtcprivkey -w /path/to/your/wallet.json
    3. You should get 64 hex characters out; this is your private key. Make a new wallet on http://blockchain.info and import this private key.
    4. Immediately transfer the funds out of this wallet to where you want to go.
