You are not logged in.
I have an Arch install and when I boot I get a LightDM webkit greeter I set up. However, every time i try to log in, it says my pasword is incorrect.
The same happens when I use TTY2 and I cannot login as my user or as root.
However, when I log into my other arch system i have installed and chroot in, it works and I can su -l myuser to log in.
/etc/shadow contains entries for both accounts.
/etc/passwd has the shell as /bin/bash
When I try passwd root or passwd myuser it doesn't ask for my previous password, just the new one twice.
Does anybody know why this happens and how I can fix it?

Anything useful in the journal. You can read it inside the chroot environment.

That's normal if you are invoking passwd as root user.

Do as ewaller suggested and try to see if there is something interesting in the journal. However, are you sure that the keyboard layout that you use at login is the same you used when you set the password?

In a similar vein -- is caps-lock on?
