Can't setup VCOps 8.5.2, Can't get past change password

[drexej]

Hello,

I have been trying to setup vCOps Manager but I cannot get past the change password screen on the initial admin setup.

I used the vCenter wizard to download the OVF file (8.5.2.0) and auto-install the VMs.  When I go to the webpage for the first time and step through the installation it will not accept my password changes.

Each time I try it I get an 'Invalid current password. Please try again.' error for the root password, and usually for the admin as well, though I occasionally get an error like "Cannot make changes".

I have deleted and reinstalled this pack twice already now.  I can get into the UX VM and reset the password attempts, change both passwords, so I know they are the correct passwords.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why not using 5.8.4 by the way, which is the latest version btw

As far as I remember, the problem is that passwords has to be changed right after install from the VA console.

I think that is written in the release notes.

In any case - deploy the OVF, then go to the console and try to login w/ root - it will ask to change the password etc

so do it, and then move on

edit: try searching in this forum, there are few threads on that issue
