I faced the same problem some times ago, and found out that the password was systematically deleted from the registry each time the service was started. It looked like I was hit by this : http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=1110519&uid=swg21110519 &loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en Not sure it is your case, but thought it could possibly help !

What I have set up is a shortcut to dsm with -optfile in the target. This works just fine on the windows 2000 clusters I've set up. Unfortunately starting dsm from the command line with -optfile doesn't work either. The log shows " TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in the background." I did run dsm first, when it prompted I entered the password but starting the service still shows the message.
