Summary0002040: new installation wrong pass
Description

After installing Kali trough GUI, a complex password wont work. After several reinstallations I figured that root login pass works only if I use certain character complexity - just Up/lower alphanumerical.
(special characters like @!"#$ don`t work)
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard layout/driver during (GUI) installation process

(I use Croatian key layout)

Steps To Reproduce

"Works" every time using GUI install (didn`t try cli install)

Try to type your password in a non-password text field during the GUI install to see whether it types what you think you are typing... but I doubt that we will address this "bug" in Kali. You might want to try to reproduce it on Debian and report it there.
