(SOLVED) Sudo password is suddenly incorrect

[Altered Walter]

Installed LM14 2 days ago. Everything seemingly went well.
Today when checking the update manager I receive: Incorrect password... try again.
I receive the same error using a sudo command in terminal.
I have no trouble logging onto the system with the exact same password at boot time.
I've rebooted, restarted Cinnamon, and Restored all settings to default with no luck.

TL;DR Password works at login, not for anything else.

Thanks for the help.

SOLVED

The password was initially set using the English (International with dead keys) keyboard driver (the default on install - which is really stupid, by the way). After boot I switched to another English keyboard driver which echoed my password exactly as it was supposed to.
Solution: Switch back to the English (International with dead keys) keyboard driver and retype your password in LibreOffice and see how it appears. Now reset your password (Terminal -> sudo passwd <username>) using as your 'Old' password the one created on the Dead-key keyboard.

This is what worked for me.
