Error updating vcenter SSL certificate?

Hello folks,

I've recently upgraded to vcenter 5.1 U1a successfully.

I am following VMware articles and popular blog to prepare and run the VMware certificate automation tool 1.0.

Everything was pretty smooth until I got to replacing the vcenter server SSL certificate.  Option 2 of vcenter ssl update.  See pic attached.

After the error, my vcenter service will not start.

I've tried resetting the database password using vpxd.exe -p, but vcenter still will not start.

I've also verified that the correct service ID is matched between vpxd.cfg and LS_ServiceID.prop.

Stuck at this point.  I've since gone back to snapshot, but trying to see if anyone has suggestions?

Could this be from typing a password wrong?

Thanks!
