In normal circumstances that should not be necessary.
Note that username and password must match exactly, and that the username should not contain uppercase letters or "weird" characters. It is usually safest to stick to the set a-z0-9 for the username.
If the username is ok, then the password might mismatch.
Try resetting it to some "easy" value (temporarily!) by issuing the command (as root user):
passwd username
(where you replace username by your wife's username of course).
If that does not help, something strange is the matter and further issue-solving will be needed.
