I just ran into something similar on TSM server 4.2.1.13 and haven't opened a PMR on it yet -- my admin password expired, and I got the authentication failure message. No word about 'password expired', and NO option to enter a new one. Maybe your client password has expired? Try q node <nodename> and see how many days it's been since the password has been changed.
