On Ubuntu 24.04, I attempted various password combinations, both with and without special characters, but the password I entered during installation didn't work on the installed OS.
I specifically tried using the character 'ù' but couldn’t log in after the installation.
To work around this installer bug, use a simple password during installation, and then change it to a more complex one afterward.

Thanks for your report! I can confirm that this is a bug on the UI side - the crypt hash generated by the dart package used here seems to be wrong when non-ASCII characters are involved.
Ok, got a bit nerd-sniped by this: the problem is that Dart uses UTF-16 encoding for strings and the crypt.dart used here iterates over the UTF-16 code units of the password, while ubuntu is probably expecting UTF-8 during login.
