Welcome to Android Central! I don't think there's anything you can do about it. Either you're entering the wrong password, or the device is glitching in a significant way. Is it possible you made a typo when you created the password? I've only seen factory reset as a solution on the web for this, which of course will wipe your data.

If your rooted, as i have same issue with mine and read the same issue on other sites. Somehow rooting disables Private Mode. As stated earlier, you will have to reinstall(FLASH) stock firmware/ROM. Find the F/W on SamMobile.com download Odin3 3.1x.xx. I use TWRP for backups, flashing, etc.
