I see the steps to upgrade? But it does not show me for the situation where my dat file is not in the old wallet?

null means it successfully created the dumpfile.

Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)

Initialize your masternode by entering masternode initialize [LABEL] replace [LABEL] with the name of the masternode you want to restart. Lock your wal…

help walletpassphrase will provide even more information.

my passphrase is a series of ten words separated by spaces, is this the issue?

einalex · 2020-05-23T00:50:56.408Z

no, just put it in quotation marks, that should work.
