This error appears very frequently in the engine.log.

Starting appearing after manual edit to the "AdminPassword" value in the database.
Tried using engine-config -s AdminPassword='somepassword' to change it which always resulted in: cannot set value 'somepassword' to key AdminPassword.
Hence the manual edit

Any ideas on how to make the engine happy in that regard again?
