Hello everyone,

Upgraded the HP EX470 to 2GB of RAM and was recoginized on WHSv1. Had some troubles installing WHS 2011 but finally got it installed. However, I am stuck.

I inputted the password at the screen when asked, and inputted it twice as is needed during installation. However, when I try to install the connector software and input the password, it won't accept it. I can't get in that way or through the remote desktop connector. I don't know what could be wrong. A couple of notes:

-I couldn't get my OEM key to work at the security window, so I skipped it. This is a legit (I HOPE!) version I bought from Newegg 3 weeks ago.

-I chose to do no updates to the system, just to do the installation and then I planned to do updates once I could get in.

Any reason why the server wouldn't accept my password once I've inputted it? Or my security key for that matter when I try at the server start??

Thank you!!!

You should be able to phone Microsoft's toll free tech support line for help with an immediate installation problem with a legitimate new copy of WHS.

Good luck. :)
