Thanks Ken. If anybody is interested, the way to resolve this problem is to do an asadmin login command. When you are asked if you want to overwrite the entry respond "y" and that will fix your asadminpass file.

It sounds like your .asadminpass file is incorrect.  I've never managed
to break it, so I'm not sure how to fix it.  :) I'm sure the fix is
easy.  You might try google, or just reinstall GlassFish.

Goog luck!
