Lish always 'Login incorrect'.
I connect to SSH, it always 'Permission denied'.
I have reset password 3 times.

It may be that special characters are being used for your password that aren't represented correctly when entered through a terminal application or Lish. I'd recommend resetting your password again and using no special characters, or only those special characters that are very common, such as the following symbols:
<>[]{}@#%^*()-+_=
If all else fails you can boot your Linode into Rescue Mode and chroot into your Linode's disk to run the passwd command.
