Domanda New Whs Install Won't Accept Key Or Password, Ex470?

    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!!!

    Is it possible you tried to enter some characters durring setup that are not suitable

    for password use? ie ;'/?.,<>":[]{}=+-_()*&^%$#@!

    Or is it possible your keyboard malfunctioned which would explain not being able

    to enter the product key?

    I would be inclined to start again - what were the problems you encountered during installation?
