After calling this method, you will need to call walletpassphrase again before being able to call any methods which require the wallet to be unlocked. Examples: Set the passphrase for 2 minutes to perform a transaction > bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase "my pass phrase" 120 Perform a send (requires passphrase set) > bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd" 1.0 Clear the passphrase since we are done before 2 minutes is up > bitcoin-cli walletlock As json rpc call > curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "walletlock", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/ Share on Twitter Facebook Google+
