How to import wallet.dat into 3.0.X.X?

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?

You have to download the old wallet and copy your wallet,dat into the correct folder then carry out the procedure, unless you have your private keys.
And i assume you mean import into Sys4.

Sys3 Release

syscoin/syscoin

Where is the correct folder? Everytime I start the wallet, it tell me to backup my wallet. I backed it up then overwrote that wallet with my backup.Try the wallet dump and I get null.

The correct folder depends on the version of Syscoin you are using.

The Syscoin data directory

Paths to Syscoin’s data directory Please replace [USERNAME] by your username.

For Syscoin 3

Mac /…

null means it successfully created the dumpfile.

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

this comment explains how to use that

I cannot initialize my masternode

At the moment, the “initialize” button has a bug. You will need to use the console. To do that Click on “Window->Console” Unlock your wallet by entering walletpassphrase [PASSPHRASE] [SECONDS] replace [PASSPHRASE] with your passphrase replace [SECONDS] by the number of seconds after which you want the client to lock the wallet again. 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]

no, just put it in quotation marks, that should work.
I removed your screenshot to keep your wallet safer

Finally, success, look at me I’m a dev now!
