I'm having the same problem with the latest packages for 3.6 RC. I've tried reinstalling a number of times, setting up with and without an answer file, and I always get a login denied error. Log entries: (from trying ovirt-shell) 2015-10-05 09:30:48,361 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.aaa.filters.BasicAuthenticationFilter] (default task-1) [] User admin authentication failed. profile is internal.

Reasons: USER_ACCOUNT_EXPIRED I have tried using the ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool tool, with "user edit --account-valid-to," "user password-reset --password-valid-to," and "user unlock" options with multiple different dates, passwords of varying complexity, etc. and nothing seems to work. This is all happening during the middle of a hosted-engine setup, which throws everything off. I've also done clean re-installs a number of times. Early last week, when the release candidate first came out, I did not have this issue. I was able to complete the install without any problems. Has anyone found a way to get around this if it starts happening? Christopher
