Have you stopped all the services, except Repository DB? 

[Vegar · Accepted solution]

Try this before executing your cmd command as an administrator.

• Logged in as the service account?
• Have you stopped all the Qlik Sense services,  except the Qlik Sense Repository Database
• Delete all  Qlik Sense related certificates in Microsoft Management Console(MMC) ?
• Delete the %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Exported Certificates\.Local Certificates
• Edit the  %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Host.cfg and replace the hostname in the file. It should be encoded in base64.

Go to Logs / repository / trace / system_repoistory.log and security_repository.log, see what does it say?
