I took a quick glance at the su source code, and it appears that su 
almost always returns "Incorrect password" on failure, even in 
situations where the failure is not actually due to an incorrect 
password (e.g. a failed PAM call).  Hey, I didn't write it.

So I'm stumped; this could be anything.  I'd start from square 
one...format, reinstall, and keep complete track of where things go 
wrong.  My guess is that it's something simple, like a stray colon in 
"/etc/password" or something.
