Hi,
I just rebuilt my WHS V1 which had been running for over 2 years after the Mobo gave up the ghost.
Re-install was flawless but I ran into a particular issue when I tried to setup the domain name on my re-install of WHS.
I know my live ID and password. Although, I did not personally use it to log in in a very long time. But, it worked great on my old WHS, updating my *.homeserver.com domain whenever my ISP updated my IP address.
On the new install, I followed the Domain Name configuration using the WHS Console. I clicked the configure button, entered my Windows Live id: "eric@XXXXXXX.com". and my password. (x used to ward of spam, I of course used the real email address
on the Live ID Web site)
Then I get the following error: "Incorrect email address or password".
Hummm. I decide to go online and try logging in from my Windows 7 PC. I connect to login.live.com and enter my password and user name. I get the following error:
"That Windows Live ID doesn't exist. Enter a different ID."
Ouch! What is going on? my WHS used that account not 2 weeks ago to update my IP address!
Well, this is bad, let see if I can re-create the account. So I select the Sign up option, choose to use my email address and and enter my information + my secret question and answer. I also enter the correct captcha and click continue.
Now I get the following error: "The email address is already in use. To continue, do one of the following.."
So I try signing in again but I get the same error as earlier. That Windows Live ID doesn't exist. Enter a different ID. Well, maybe I forgot my password, so I select "Can't access your account" and try "I Forgot my password" Then
click on the "Reset password" link. I enter my email address and the correct captch then click next. Now I get the following error message: "The Windows Live ID is incorrect. Please try again."
Anyone can help me with this? I cannot get back into my Live ID that does exist at some level since I cannot recreate the account using that same email but that I simply cannot log into or reset the password...
Help!
