It doesn't generally work. I'm thinking that something you did resulted in changing the password to that value.

Still I can't change password from the web interface. But now how I can change via ssh it's ok for me.

  Your change may/may not survive a reboot. Things to check would be e.g. root volume usage, shadow file and the management service database.
