This kind of problem may arise for different reasons. You can examine the installation logs to determine the cause. If everything in the installation went fine with no errors at all, you can do a quick hack to finish the install.

You can edit the control file (keyb.xml) and replace the ERROR status with OK. Then, re-run SAPinst and finish the install. After that you can reset the password for account DDIC.
