ABAP Trial Installation Hanging at Configuring Login Information

Question

I have a Windows Server 2003 machine that I want to install the SAP NetWeaver Java and ABAP Trial versions on (yes the same machine).  I've downloaded everything I need and have successfully installed the Java version without a problem.
Everything seems to be running perfectly.
Now, when I try to install the ABAP version it gets passed creating the database with: "database NSP created successfully Tu, Jul 14, 2009 at 11:28:08"
Now it's onto step "Configuring login information..." @ 52% and it's just sitting here - it's now 1:17 so it's been here for about 2 hours now with no progress movement.
I tried looking for a logfile and I can't find one anywhere so I'm not sure what exactly the installer is doing.  How do I proceed to debug this to find out where the hang up is?
Thank you!

Answer 1

I killed the kernel.exe process hosted the NSP database to force the installation to fail.
It looks like it's having problems with changing passwords?!  I am using the same exact password for the J2E instance as this NSP instance (the password is similar to:  Dhgy123#).  I did read that "@" symbols were a problem - perhaps "!" is as well?!
The following is part of the end of the log file:
