It's probably worth noting that the example in the article uses "symantec" as teh password.
I'd recommend you try to rummage out the SVA_InstallSettings.xml file you used during the install. You must have gone through this in order to correctly link it into the SEPM in the first place, so hopefully you've saved it somewhere.
If you haven't, and the SVA is completely unconfigured, then I'd recommend removing it and recreating the SVA anew (with a recorded set of installation settings and passwords )
