Jim,

I have been involved in a similar problem.  The way we got it to work
is by
doing a backup (any backup, we chose registry backup), then using the
updatepw utility to update the password and then doind an update node
on the
server to reset the password, then installing the service.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Dave
