For the love of me I cannot figure out how to find what my username/password is to access the WHS via the website. Where can you find it or reset?

Thx for the quick response.
I have used the WHS username and password I chose when I installed it but it does not accept it.
I am getting to my website, I just can't login.
You can't use the server password to login to the Remote Access website. As Ken said, you need a user account that already has Remote Access permissions enabled. It sounds to me like either A) you're trying to use Administrator/server password to login (which you can't do) or B) you're using a regular user account that doesn't have Remote Access enabled. And you can't reset it unless you have access to the Console (which you won't have remotely unless you use a user account that has Remote Access enabled).- Marked as answer by stick30 Saturday, January 30, 2010 5:41 PM

Your user name will be a user created using the Windows Home Server console, and your password will be the password set there. There's no way to reset a password from the Remote Access web site other than by logging in (with a known user name), opening the console (with the console password) and doing it there.

Guys, thanks for the guidance and patience. I had the remote access enabled I just did not have a user account set up.
