this is a known bug in TYPO3 which has unfortunately been rejected. No 
bug fixing will be done. This forces you to always make a backup copy of 
your TYPO3 database or at least the be_users database table before you 
start with an update.

See
http://forge.typo3.org/issues/53082

A new update of a former TYPO3 version up to TYPO3 6.2 sometimes leads 
to a problem with a changed password for backend users. The extension 
saltedpasswords modifies the password when it should not do so.

The only solution for your problem is to create a new backend user by 
the Install Tool. Then use the new backend user to login and to change 
the passwords of all other backend users.
