Hey all-
OK, I've looked around and can't seem to find anybody else with this issue. I've jusy deployed a brand-new insance of vMA 5.0, but I can't deploy it as I am stuck setting the vi-admin password on initial boot. For every password I enter, I get "Sorry, the passwords do not match." Now, I have tried this dozens and dozens of times, with different passwords, had other people try to set the password, all to no avail. Note that this has nothing to do with password complexity; that spits out a different error message. Has anybody else run into this? Is there any way around this part of the deploy?
Thinking that the error might be with the "Old Password", I have tried just hitting <return> for the Old Password, as well as "admin", "vi-admin", "vmware", and a few other common guesses, but that's just out of desperation as everything I've found in the docs and online suggest the default password is empty. ARGH! Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks,

ps- one thing I did do during the deploy was disabling vApp (Settings->Options->vApp), so that I could get it to turn on without creating an IP pool. I can't see how that would be an issue (and can't turn on the VM without doing so!).
