Which keyboard layout do you use? Make sure that all the keys really
work, especially for the characters used in your password. I bring this
up because I have recently seen the uppercase "E" not working correctly
in a newly-installed Lenny system with the Spanish keymap. This lead to
the user not being able to log in on the ttys, and with the password not
being echoed we did not immediately realize what the reason was. (We
fixed this by installing console-setup and kbd to configure the keyboard
for the ttys.)
