Maybe try factory resetting and  doing a shorter 8-10 character password

Factory resetting is the last chance. If I can, I would like to resolve this problem not factory resetting.

    tough to get in and access it if the password is the issue. 

    Password recovery just gives you the password but thats the problem.
