Openfire service dies on startup - password issue

Using postgresql - when I try to start the openfire service, it terminates after a few seconds. The logs indicate a database password issue, but I have double and triple checked the database password and username for openfire, and it is correct in the openfire.xml file. What am I missing here? Here is a portion of the log:

Hi,

if the password is still right then the account may have been locked or expired. Did you try to connect with another JDBC client?

It may help to set the password again in the database and then adjust it in openfire.xml.
