Randy, you were absolutely right - the problems I had were due to some DB inconsistency, I think.
I have reinstalled Tomcat and checked out latest version of J2M1 from CVS and I had no problem logging in or changing passwords as any of the users. I was trying to understand what exactly went wrong, though, as I did not feel comfortable loosing my working J2 installation. I looked more into what I've done and I think I found the most likely reason for the problem. In brief, I was mixing DB initialization/startup procedures from the binary and CVS installs - I was running ‘maven start.production.server’ with the binary install and start_database.bat after I reinstalled J2 from CVS… Also, incorrect users were being used as the 'org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.user' – admin' for CVS install, instead of 'j2deployer' (since I was using 'leftovers' in the build.properties file after the binary install) Basically, my guess is, that if you built J2 from a binary distribution, you should always start your Db with the start_database.bat script before starting Tomcat. And if you updated J2 from CVS, you should run 'maven quickStart' once at the build time, and then start the DB with the 'maven start.production.server' all subsequent times you start J2. I may be completely off here... Thanks for your help!
