Pwd is not accepted in GNOME login screen when attempting to login.
But it is when switching to command line mode (Ctrl+Alt+F3).

I wonder if this is to do with your keyboard config?
Maybe the keyboard for gnome and console are different?

Are you able to switch to a GNOME session after logging in from a tty console?
When you say password is not accepted from GDM, do you get a wrong password message?
Don’t think this to be the issue, @barryascott .
Either way, the password doesn’t carry any special characters.
I log in from boot menu.
Fedora loads. User name shows up in a box. When clicked in there, pwd is requested.
I type pwd and a ‘pwd not recognized’ message shows up.
I then switch to console mode typing Ctrl-Alt F3.
Asked to login again from $ prompt. Type user name. Accepted.
Type pwd. Accepted.
Attempt to launch GNOME with startx.
List of xauth messages indicating serverauth.2637 and Xauthority files do not exist
Then xinit is unable to run server /usr/bin/X due it isn’t present.
You can rule out a wrong password at the login screen by choosing to see the password entered.

F42 is Wayland-only on Fedora Workstation. What about Ctrl+Alt+F2 from the tty console?

Ctrl+Alt+F2 works fine and sends to console.
In console, instruction gnome-session doesn’t show error message but nothing seems to happen.
Try with gnome-session instead.
Did you by any chance tweak the accessibility settings? Does it work if you reset the dconf accessibility path?
$ dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/a11y/ > ~/Documents/dconf-a11y.bkp
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/a11y/
@vekruse , @tqcharm , @barryascott , guess what?
It was a Num Key toggle issue.
