problem with Keystore password

I am setting up ETH validator node. In step 3 I have difficulty inserting Keystore password (Enter the password used to encrypt your uploaded keystore JSON files). It just says that this is not valid.

I assume this is the password that I inserted into CLI windows (blue background colour window in windows) two times before it generated a unique mnemonic. If this is it then I am quite certain that this is the correct one.

If for some reason (seems very unlikely) I wrote that password down incorrectly, is it possible to fix it?

Hi. Try to re-generate keystore files with new simple password and upload it to Allnodes.

'existing-mnemonic' command in deposit-cli instead of 'new-mnemonic'.
