Cesar,

I'm afraid there is something wrong with your midPoint or tomcat 
installation. The error message (which is quite cryptic, I must admit) 
is emitted when midPoint receives no password from the GUI. But you 
obviously entered one.

I haven't seen such an error... or at least I don't remember. Maybe 
someone with more experiences in deploying midPoint does.

 From my experience I can only ask:

 1. Which log files have you inspected? Also idm.log? Tomcat logs? Which
    ones?
 2. How exactly did you install midPoint? (e.g. have you executed steps
    in this article
    <https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Installing+midPoint+from+Binary+Distribution+v3.5>)?
    And how did you install tomcat? Did you some special configuration
    changes in your tomcat?
 3. What versions of OS, tomcat, java, midPoint do you use? What database?

If nothing else helps, you could try to reinstall tomcat and midPoint 
from scratch and start again.
