I have 1 ETH in an Ethereum Wallet. I would like to transfer it, but I am unable to get the wallet functions to work due to another issue. (Mist not recognizing my 1 ETH) I know the wallet address and the password. Is there someway to recover the ETH, into another account or service somewhere?

the password isn't enough you need to to restore the KEYSTORE and then you could move to another wallet or a online service (like https://www.myetherwallet.com/#view-wallet-info). keystore location :

Linux: ~/.ethereum/keystore
Mac: /Library/Ethereum/keystore
Windows: %APPDATA%/Ethereum

    that worked! Pending transaction, now showing up in coinbase. – uberdave Oct 28 '16 at 19:36
  • @ubiquitousDave: Good thing you kept the actual wallet/keystore file: it's what you need in addition to the password. – eth Oct 28 '16 at 23:18
