Administrator password provided must match the Administrator password of the host

Question

So i am doing a fresh install, removed the old cloudbuilder and extracted a fresh one and re-ran the script from Azurestack_SupportFiles.  

Trying to run the first command  

"

cd C:\CloudDeployment\Setup 
 $adminpass = ConvertTo-SecureString "〈LOCAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD〉" -AsPlainText -Force 
 .\InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 -AdminPassword $adminpass -UseADFS

"

and i get ,  

PS C:\CloudDeployment\Setup>  .\InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 -AdminPassword $adminpass -UseADFS
>>  $adminpass = ConvertTo-SecureString "<LOCAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD>" -AsPlainText -Force
>> cd C:\CloudDeployment\Setup
VERBOSE: InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 -AdminPassword System.Security.SecureString -UseADFS True
VERBOSE: Validating input parameters.
The Administrator password provided must match the Administrator password of the host.
At C:\CloudDeployment\Setup\DeploySingleNode.ps1:321 char:13
+             throw $LocalizedData.AdministratorPasswordMustMatchHost

Hi,

The error shown because you don't input the same password between POC Machine and InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 script.

I suggest you to use interactive mode, see below:

PS C:\CloudDeployment\Setup> .\InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 -UseADFS

cmdlet InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
AdminPassword:

Type the password same as Administrator account (azurestackadmin) in POC Machine.

Do you have a DHCP Server in your environment?

Answer 2

I was typing in the same password, it worked before, im not sure why it wasn't this time.

Anyway i found out and did it that way, just ran  .\InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 -UseADFS 

and then i was prompted to enter password.

Answer 3

Strange that I am also facing same issue in-spite of providing correct Administrator password. So I have installed Azure stack instance on windows server 2016 and logged in using same administrator password. Now when I am trying to provide same password while running InstallAzureStackPOC.ps1 script I am encountered with same error. Please suggest what could be the reason.

Also I have tried resetting the password still got same error. Any help will be appreciated.
