It's osa-dispatcher.jabber_password from /etc/rhn/rhn.conf (password that
osa-dispatcher uses to register to jabber network).

One way to fix this, stop jabberd:

# service jabberd stop

backup authreg.db:

# mv /var/lib/jabberd/db/authreg.db /somewhere/

start jabberd:

# service jabberd start

start osa-dispatcher:

# service osa-dispatcher start

Hope this helps.
