I believe he's on NT and the password is in the registry, not in a file as
some OS's. I'm not even sure if you remove the TSM service(s) if that will
remove the registry keys. But removing and then re-installing the service(s)
will at least correct the password in the registry.

I have seen a problem if you were not specifying a NODENAME in the DSM.OPT
file and the value assigned to the %COMPUTERNAME% env variable was
lower-case. How it gets assigned as lower-case, I'll never know, but the
encrytpion algorithm TSM uses to store the password in the registry looks
like it didn't UPPER(NODENAME) first in some cases. So the scheduler would
work until you ran the line command which would ask you to re-entry the
password. Then the scheduler wouldn't work anymore. Also affected the CAD
service.

The only thing I can think of, is to remove the password file and try the
dsmc command again to create a new password file...

Should have mentioned I did this too. Didn't ask for anything, just
returned
the schedule. Stop and start the service still shows the same error.
