Observing same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 (after upgrading from 14.04 where
same problem was appearing).
I consider that this effect is also there if you lock the screen manually.
Same workaround works:
- (lock screen manually; re-login says "wrong password"
- try to login as another user with wrong password
- after error, switch back to your user
- now login works

Title:
Gnome screensaver lock always reports "incorrect password"
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
When inactive, the screensaver locks the workstation. When logging
back in, I enter my password. This always returns "incorrect
password".
Workaround: hit "Switch User" log in as that same user with the denied
password, revealing the session that was logged out of.
I changed the password: "sudo passwd". No change in behavior.
The question: where is it drawing the password from if not from the
same place that the regular login derives it? And how can I fix this
admittedly small but annoying problem?
