console login bug - can not enter password at all

[marchello_lippi2]

Hi all,

I experience weird bug in console (Ctrl+Alt+F1...)

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial

So, it does not allow me to login at all when using console (works well in x-windows GUI though).
Once I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 or other F... button, it asks me to enter my login.
After I enter my login, it should wait for entering password, right? But no way. It displays password prompt, yes. But it doesn't wait for it. Once I enter login, it displays password prompt, but immediately shows "login incorrect" error and asks for login again.

Please advise.
