virtualisation server will not start (solved)

[wizzofoz]

I'm running alfresco on a Windows2003R2 server and that wors fin but … when I try to start the Virtualisation Server it looks as it gets in some kind of loop. I also tried to start the Virtualisation Server as a service but this does the same.
Below is a part of the log:

I've solved this problem.

Cause: I changed the admin password for Alfresco

Solution: change the password in $VIRTUAL_TOMCAT_HOME/conf/alfresco-virtserver.properties
