Can't generate first admin user

I have just down a clean install of 17.3. the Services all start correctly as does my JBOSS server.

I am able to login as the default Administrator, and changed password with no issues. When I try to login with the admin user that was defined in the password.properties file I am getting an invalid username / password message. I have checked the file and I do not see any errors with it.

Looking in my JBOSS log file, I do not see any errors and in fact the word password is not mentioned at all.  I also notice that after startup the password.properties file still exists, and I'm under the impression it should be deleted on successful start up ?
