Verify the keyboard layout.
Type the password in the user space to see if it's correct.

Kind regards

Try
sudo and the password from the user.

Try to login as root in the terminal, then type: "passwd -d" this will make that your password be empty (just pressing the Enter key) and type: "passwd" to create a new password. You must write it and then you are asked to retype the same password.
I hope it helps. See you later.
