Maybe the messages log would have information. After you log in as 
admin/admin then do settings to change the password. Do not log out; go to 
Nodes->nodes, checkmark the xcat userid, then do actions-> run script. In 
the run script do a 
tail -n 100 /var/log/messages
See if any errors appear near the " xCAT: xCAT: Allowing webrun passwd"

That doesn't seem to  be the problem.  

link xcat 100 100 rr                   
DASD 0100 LINKED R/O; R/W BY XCAT      
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 14:09:11            

Also I would think if that had been the problem I would still be able to 
logon with admin/admin as the new password would not have been written.

I just changed my password on a test system from admin to various things: 
admin2, admintest, admin2W 

I would log out of the GUI and then log back in using admin and the new 
password and it worked just fine. 

You don't by chance have the 100 disk linked by another zVM userid so that 
xCAT cannot get the disk in write mode?

I restored XCAT 100 minidisk.  Started the UI - logged in using 
admin/admin - changed the password again, this time using a very simple 
password so there would be no typos, and again when I logoff and try to 
logon with the new password - Authentication failure

How can I debug this problem?

No, I didn't change it in the passwd table.  This z/VM 6.3, so no access 
to the cmdline, only the UI.

I'll figure out a way to restore the XCAT minidisk.

I was going through the xcat UI-tutorial and changed the password.  
However I went to login and receive the error - Authentication failure

I suppose I fat fingered it, but twice?  Anyway - how can I reset this 
password?
