alethzero cant spend from brain wallet and other issues

Member Posts: 1 ✭
in alethzero the balance is showing up correctly but cannot spend transactions from the wallet. the execute button does nothing when clicked.
any advice?
so i created a new brain wallet and i added a few words to the end but i think i fat fingered something.
1. if i create a new brain wallet with what i thought the words were, it creates a new account with a different address so i think i typed something wrong
2. i tried to export the secret key from the client but the key displayed, when imported into geth, for example, results in a wallet with a different address
3. i tried to find the key file in the web3/keys directory but only non-brain wallets appear to be there
4. i tried to use ethkey. ethkey list shows the brain wallets as (BRAIN). when i try to do ethkey inspect --show-me-the-secret XE... it shows me the ICAP and raw hex but not the secret key.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next. i have access to the files and computer but how can i send a transaction with this brain wallet, or get the true secret key? or get a backup of the file?
