It sounds like you're typing a sudo command which will cause the password not to appear on the screen. Instead open a terminal (menu > accessories > terminal) and just type your password.
Example, open a terminal and type the word "cheese". The word "cheese" will appear on the screen.
Is the password you just typed on screen correct? If the keypad issue is interfering what you type and what is displayed on screen will not be the same. If there is a problem here, turn the keypad off and try again. What you type and what is displayed should match.

If the example above didn't work, try the opposite: turn the keypad ON when entering your password. Huh, has he lost his mind? An explanation: when resetting the password to something new the keypad was actually ON.
