The installation documentation for RHQ 4.9 indicates that the rhq-encode-password.sh script should be run from the <rhq-install-dir>/bin/ directory to generate an encoded password. However, this script is not delivered within the rhq-server-4.9.0.zip file.
The documentation was linked from the main http://www.jboss.org/rhq page, which I can now see refers to 4.10.0, which has not yet been released. This is confusing as people will think it is the installation instructions for the current version.
It looks like one of the developers (Heiko Rupp) created a 4.9 doc space on the wiki, and that contains the proper script to encode the password: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ49/Installing+the+Server If you follow the link on the JBoss.org page now, there is a warning note on the main page that this is draft 4.10 documentation: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/User+Documentation It has a link to the 4.9 docs here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ49/Home
