If i press Ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen, I can get back in by typing my password.

If I put the computer to sleep, wake it back up again, I cannot log in anymore because it says the password is invalid.

The password is valid, because when I press Ctrl+F1 to go to tty1 I can log in using my username and this exact password. Ctrl-F7 back to unity, the same password is invalid, and I have to restart in order to log back in. Very annoying.

The problem is reproducible every time the computer goes to sleep. I have an Intel HD4000 graphic and I'm using opensource drivers. The system is 14.04 with the latest updates through the official channel.

Same problem.

I found that it goes away if you try to switch account: then the password is accepted.

Do you have more than one language installed?

I was wondering about that because sometimes after loggin out I also get the wrong language activated.

For whoever is still seeing this problem... Adding the default keyboard layout for X11 solved the problem for me. Create the folloing file:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf

With the correct keyboard layout (fr for me):

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
    Option "XkbVariant" "latin9"
EndSection
