The password issue simply means that if you enter the password as hexadecimal characters, you must type exactly 10 characters (5 bytes) for 40-bit key, or exactly 26 characters (13 bytes) for 104-bit key). If you typed other number of characters than 10 or 26, or any character that is not a hexadecimal digit, this is interpreted as ascii string. In this mode, each character is a byte by itself. So, valid length of the string in this case is either 5 or 13 charachers. If this condition is not met, the string can't be accepted as a valid password. Please check carefully what you type. Perhaps you typed letter O instead if zero, or small L instead of 1 etc.
