If you remove $HOME/ovirt-engine you remove the pki keys.
If you do not drop/create the database then the engine-setup is perform upgrade not fresh install.
This cause the password to be undecryptable by the new key.
Using engine-config -s AdminPassword=interactive will store encrypted password using the new key.
If you want fresh install, please also drop/create database.
