Even though I entered the right password to my machine I'm unable to login.

Issue I start my machine and for the first time I'm able to login with my password. Now I lock my machine or I suspend my laptop and try to login again. Then the Incorrect Password Issue appears.
Even though the password is correct I'm not able to login.

Temprorary Solution Whenever I switch the user and login with same user then I'm able to login or I restart the machine.

Has anybody, encountered this Issue? And are there any permanent solution?

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Machine: Lenovo ideapad 300

Though this issue was reported 2 years back, I faced the same issue today even though I enter the correct password not able to login. sharing the resolution details for my case.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Error: Invalid Password, please try again.

Solution: My password had one capital letter and I was entering the same using shift from mac machine connecting to ubuntu vm and it was failing. Then turned on the Caps Lock enter that one char and turned off the Caps Lock to enter the rest of the chars in my password. It worked!

Hope it helps someone!

Just happened to me. In my case, i was trying to connect to a remote vm via ssh. Terminal was asking me the password to authorize sudo command but i was entering the remote vm password. Took 5 mins to realize terminal asking me the pw of my machine.
