    Hello I recently recently shut down my WHS and plugged it back in after about 2 weeks.  Now when I try to go to the folders that are on it, it tells me that the account has been locked out.  I cannot get in to change this as 1.) My usual account is locked out, and 2.) I don't know what the administrator account password is, and don't even remember setting up a password for it.  Is there any way I can get this to work again?  All of my stuff is located on this server.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    The "administrator account password" is the password you use to login to the WHS Console.
    From the Console you should be abled to access the WHS user passwords.

    No home server like Home Server

    I know what the administrator account password does, I just don't know what it is.... I went in through the console and created another user, I'm going to see if that allows me to login through remote desktop so that I can unlock my main account that is locked out....

    The password for the administrator account on your server is the password you type to open the Windows Home Server console. If you don't know that password, hopefully you set a decent hint for it. :)

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
