I've had suffered something similar with passwords having special characters in. If the keyboard language is somehow changed, the way to type them is no longer what we think it is, and so the password input doesn't match. Encryption keys are also not fully friendly with special characters. Or maybe they are, but using these in the terminal sometimes leads to unthought commands / instructions.
