Problem with geli after changing password

Hi:

I changed the password for my encrypted disk partition with the command

# geli setkey /dev/ad0s2d

On boot I am requested to enter the password but it doesn't work. After 
failed attempts it falls back to single user mode. From there, I /CAN/ 
attach the partition and mount it.

What has gone wrong - or better, how do I correct this?

There is nothing in the password that seems to indicate that different 
keyboard layout when the password is initially requested, is the cause.

Thanks, Erik
