Why didn't you just use passwd to change the password?Currently having the same issue and can`t resolve it.
Tried setting up my Pi today with the Imager.
Set all the settings needed for SSH but was unable to SSH into.
After 5 tries a short and only letter based password worked and i got in.
After switching the boot options to usb in order to boot from my SSD (setup with the exact same settings and password) my password entries were getting denied again.
Got into it again after switching from CMD/PowerShell to PuTTY.
Changed the password in the raspi_config to a more secure and longer one, rebooted and was locked out again.
There`s gotta be a bug!
