Fresh Install (10.9.1) Unable to create OD accounts after crash and reboot

Question

I have a real big issue and I was hoping if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction.
I have installed a new Server (10.9.1) for a client and everything has been working fine for over a month now, DNS resolving, users being able to login etc, no issues at all.
But today (last night) the server crashed and they rebooted it, and today when i try to add a user I get an error:
existing connection is not authenticated: password change denied
I OK it then Cancel the adding, but find the user being added (bizarre!)
When I try to setup the user email on the server for testing, I get an error with password being wrong, and I can't change the user password, with reset password the drop down just stays there and I have to cancel it.
As a note, all current users within the OD are working fine. And as a test I tried to change a password for a current user and getting the same issue above. They are not mobile accounts, the server is being used for Email, Cal, Card, VPN and AFP only.
I have had this issue before when installing a fresh server and the way I fixed it was to delete the OD and start again, but this time I have many users with a lot of emails/data so I need to be able to fix it rather than starting again.
I have checked the DNS, flushed it, rebooted to no avail. Also I have cheked and tried fixes that have been posed on this form but most are talking about migration erros, even so they don't seem to work.
Has anyone else had this issue? and fixed?

Answer 1

Process with success:
unzip the packet in: C:\APEX
1. Install:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
2. Change to password:
@apxchpwd,
3. Run apex_epg_config.sql
On windows:
@apex_epg_config.sql (page 30, the guide of intallation)
Important:Replace SYSTEM_DRIVE:\TEMP by C:
E.g.: @apex_epg_config C:
After this, follow the next steps
4. ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Finish! Just execute apxldimg.sql script if you is upgrading from a preview release.
Now try the connect on the browser IE6 o later:
http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin
Then create your workspace.
