Is it possible that you are opening an old .vv file with the password already expired?
Because it lasts only for about 120s after it is generated. If yes, please try to open the
.vv file itself have a look if the password field is properly filled in. If yes, please try to pass it to the virtviewer (when asks) directly.

This is really strange. May be an UI bug or some bug in reporting. Could you please make a REST call to get the statistics for that VM?
Something like: https://hostIP:port/ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vmId>/statistics
