I don't believe you need a new password, if staying within the 9. something (ie you would need one, if you went from 8.? to 9.?). You should be able to uncheck the box that ask to do the license options, and it won't ask for a password. Or, put in the old / current password. Have had a few failures with SI tool, and a couple times required the manual procedure to get it back running, as it was dead! I realize that remote management is nice, but if it fails, someone may need to go there ASAP!
