Are you using something (like the Tomcat Administrator app) to change the usernames/passwords?

Looking at my installation I see that tomcat-users.xml gets updated with every restart so I am guessing that the rename is part of the normal startup and the renamed file will get erased after the replacement is written.

So - is this a file permission thing? Exactly how are you starting Tomcat?

try doing this...
give full control to the conf folder which is in the Apache folder by right clicking and selecting security tab.
