The problem isn't with your password - the desktop session is failing to
launch for $REASON and is dropping you back out to the login screen
because it doesn't have a choice. Your task now is to find and eliminate
$REASON which could be almost anything but is likely to be limited to a
subset of the usual suspects.
Get access to a shell on the machine via ssh or a console login
(CTRL+ALT+Fx at the login screen) to see what's going on:
systemctl --failed
Should probably reveal the culprit.
Report back if you don't understand what it tells you.
