Something that's caught me out a couple of times has been that during an upgrade the console keyboard layout got changed (UK to US) and the keys were no longer doing what I thought they were. Since the OP is not a native English speaker perhaps he has had the same thing happen. To prevent it happening again I now use passwords that don't contain symbols that differ in different keyboard layouts.
