Yes, I entered the old password and the new password twice, but password 
was not changed.

Yes

Ok, I was able to access to live system. I didn't know the F2 "trick"
These are the logs:

/var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/gU1uRVxm
/var/log/ovirt.log: http://pastebin.com/Qn2gn6AR
/tmp/ovirt.log: http://pastebin.com/H47QdvSH

it seems that the problem is related to hard disk

Ok, I will try to contact you on IRC, but I have to admin I am no fluent
