After experimenting a bit, it seems mediawiki does not like these characters in passwords:
&"><


The following all work:
[]{};.,!@#$%_+/()*'=-~:=-~\|`?


Since the wiki uses phpBB to authenticate, there's a bit of a discrepancy between username and password requirements. I'd try to change your password and see if you are able to get in after that.

I'd have to dig into it but considering which characters don't work I suspect they are URL encoding or simply stripped from the input. The passwords aren't store in plaintext.
