If so, did you contact Wideroe or UA ?
Wideroe will tell you they can't help or, at the most, that they can rebook you at the current fare (including fuel surcharge).

UA will tell you they didn't issue the ticket and can't change it, even as part of a same-day SDC. (Plus, UA's SDC policy doesn't allow SDCs when there are codeshare flights involved.)

Your only real hope is IRROPS or a really nice UA agent who's willing to significantly break the rules...
