Still an issue on 10.10.5. Since when I finally gave up and hit cancel, the disk appeared on my desktop and time machine started backing up, it may be that the password is actually taken, but the GUI goes the wrong direction - sits and spins on incorrect password until cancel is hit. Really strange this bug has existed for years and is not resolved.
