Thanks to Mark and Roger.
There's a workaround:
I just had this problem last night and made this discovery. If I do have a special character in the passwd, put a backslash in front of that character when entering the passwd. Worked for me (and then changed to password to get rid of it.)
Mark
If you have a special char in your passwd, depending on the terminal,
you'll need to backslash-escape it (i.e. put a "\" in front of the special
char).

Dear list,
Everybody kept telling me about /etc/securetty.
The problem was pegged by Anil (thank you!).
I had '@' in the passwd. Changing passwd to plain text made login on the console possible.
Thanks all,
Leon

Do you have special chars (like @,#) in your password?
If yes, it wont work. Change the password and try. If
your password length is more than 8 chars, enter first
8 chars only.
