JFTR you can login as user by TTY, but you can't login as user by the
display manager's greeter?

If so, it might be related to a wrong keyboard layout (OTHO usually
TTY is affected to).

Edit a new or add to an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf the lines that fit to your
keyboard layout, for Germans e.g.

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "keyboard"
       MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
       Option "XkbLayout" "de"
       #Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

resp. for testing purpose only use chars for your password that are
equal on all keyboards.
