I encrypted my wallet. used special characters in the password. And now the password doesn't work (exactly correct). Maybe the problem is in special characters?
the first character of the password is - ! and the body of the password contains - ~

What software are you using to send the password to Bitcoin Core? You may have to quote the string with

The GUI, the CLI, or the RPC with a third party software?

The GUI, the CLI
maybe there is a way to change the password without GUI?

I can neither reproduce with the GUI, nor the CLI on current master.
./bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase '!a~b' 1works for me.
How did you set the passphrase and how did you verify that it was set correctly?

./bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase '!a~b' 1
did on command line, reports: error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:8332 (error code 1 - "EOF reached") Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.
How did you set the passphrase and how did you verify that it was set correctly? copy - paste
