Unable to patch portal with stack 15?

Question

Hi,
We got BI system with portal running on windows 2003 server.
I am trying to patch up portal/jave stack with stack 15.
After JSPM successfully logged on with SDM and it shows target sp 15 for all components.
But after i click deployment jspm is giving the following error:
"<!LOGHEADER[START]/>
<!HELP[Manual modification of the header may cause parsing problem!]/>
<!LOGGINGVERSION[1.5.3.7185 - 630]/>

Hi Rama,
      Try the following steps of SAP Note 701654. you have to change the property admin/password/<SID> as described below. You have to use the working password related to user id - admin/user/<SID>...
      1. Start the Config Tool.
           (Execute <SAPj2eeEngine_install_dir> \configtool\configtool.bat.)
      2. Select the secure store node.
           The configuration for the secure storage in the file system appears.
      3. Select the admin/password/<SID> entry.
      4. Enter the administrator user's new password in the "Value" field and choose "Add".
      5. Choose "File" --> "Apply" to save the data.
           Note: Contrary to the message that appears, you do not need to restart the server or cluster for this change to take effect.
      6. Finally restart SDM server.
