I had the same trouble and this is what Oracle support recommended (and it worked):
When changing the internal password (and maybe any other password?) NLS_LANG in the NT registry must be AMERICAN_AMERICA, not SWEDISH_SWEDEN or whatever, to make the password manager tool work:

• Find the file *regedt32*
• Start its .exe
• Go to Software->ORACLE
• Edit NLS_LANG by doubleclicking on its row
