I can't login anymore. Password Error at Session

Howdy, been using Bunsenlabs since a month and loving it. But yesterday, after rebooting the system and enter in login screen, the system says "Incorrect Password" but it's my correct password, no way! What is happening? Thanks for any help

If not caps lock, maybe malfunctional key?

You can test writing the password instead of login-name on tty1.

It is hard to know what has happend, if your password is not accepted. Maybe you should scan for malwares.

If not infected and corrupt, you can boot to live dist, chroot to your installation and change passwd.

Here is an howto:

Are you sure there isn't a space at the beginning? That sometimes happens when people use the spacebar to get their login screen active.
