Sounds like you are using passwordaccess=generate;  prove this by running
"dsmc -pa=<newpw>"
where <newpw> is the new password you set from the server.

To correct this, locate the password file (depends on client level) and
erase it; then run dsmc with no arguments to "set" the password file using
the value you used for <newpw>.  See the "Using Clients" book for Unix --
"set password" command (from command line), etc.

---------------- excerpt from latest "Install and User's Guide" -----------
Use the passworddir option in your client system options file dsm.sys to
Use the passworddir option in your client system options file dsm.sys to
specify the directory location in which to store the encrypted password
file. The default directory location depends on how the client was
installed. When the passwordaccess option is set to generate and you specify
the password
option, the password option is ignored.
