I supose you are using the CLI wallet, instead of typing  something like this..

import_accounts c:\keys.json  password

try it like this....

import_accounts "c:\keys.json" "password"

That's what worked for me in the past when I had a similar issue.

Thanks for the quick response...
...however would you be able to supply more detail as I am very new to this, Try to enclose your password and path in " "
is that editing the wallet file as i made a copy and added "" and then received another error message of...

Error bad cast (7)
Invalid cast from string_type to Array.

Thanks in advance...

Try to enclose your password and path in " "

Trying to restore a wallet into 0.9.3c so that i can import the wallet into 2.0, however i'm having a parsing error:

Error : parsing error (4)
Unexpected char '70'

If you know how to solve my problem, that would be greatly appreciated.  :)
