What are you trying to tell us? That you can not enter your password correctly?

This is a problem of your WSL installation. You believe your password is correct, but the sudo command in your wsl distribution disagrees with you. If you feel this a bug, please open an issue in the WSL GitHub repository: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues

The password of WSL distributions are individual per WSL distribution, and they are not synched with the login password you use to log in into your Windows user.
