It seems that password might have not matched the server policy.
Have you tried different users and different passwords?

What does kerberos log on the server show? It will give you some hint
about the reason why the password was rejected.
It might be that the password you are trying to use already in the
history of passwords. AFAIR there was a bug that we did not handle
history of passwords properly in some cases. Now as it is fixed you
might see a proper policy enforcement.
