It looks like you have the master password set to a non-default value,
and you did not use the --save option.
With that configuration, it is indeed impossible to start an instance
(on any type of node) from the console. Also, the "asadmin
start-instance" command will not work either. You would have to use
asadmin start-local-instance, which has the ability to prompt for the
master password.
