[Paul Smith]

Thank you, Christoph.

For anyone else silly enough to not only misread the documentation but
misread the error messages too, Christoph's reply is the correct
solution. ;)

You see this?
the user you have to create is

"ada$"

not

"ada"

as this is the username for a machine-account, not a normal user....
Hope it helps...
