I am installing DB2 UDB v8.1 Personal Edition for XP Home. WHen it tries to
install DAS, it asks for the Domain, Userid and password. I gave the
following:

DOmain: My computer's name (db2test)

UserID: db2admin (default)

Password: <my password>

I got an error message that "One or more occurred while committing changes
to the user db2tet/db2admin. Please create or make any changes to the user
manually.

So, created the user manually. However, I got another error that:

Password is invalid. I know the password I used is correct.

What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you're using "XP fast logon". Revert to the old-style logon.

Chech that the rights are correct:

A local or domain user account is required for the DB2 Administration Server
(DAS). You can create the DAS user account before installing DB2 or you can
have the DB2 Setup wizard create it for you. The user account must belong to
the Administrators group on the machine where you will perform the
installation and must have the following user rights:
- Act as part of the operating system
- Create token object
- Increase quotas
- Lock pages in memory
- Logon as service
- Replace a process level token
The DB2 Administration Server (DAS) is a special DB2 administration service
used to support the GUI tools and assist with administration tasks on local
and remote DB2 servers. The DAS has an assigned user account that is used to
log the DAS service on to the computer when the DAS service is started. It
is recommended that the DAS user have SYSADM authority on each of the DB2
systems within your environment so that it can start or stop other instances
if required.

If that doesn't help, upgrade to XP Professional. XP Home has a substantial
amount of crippling that makes it hard for security conscious code to work.
