    Very strange, my administrator password is not being accepted by the server anymore. I am 100% sure that I type it correctly in the remote desktop and dashboard screens. I've even tried copying from notepad. Would it be possible that somebody has hacked my account? If so is there a way to reset the password now? I have a few other users created but none of them is administrator on the server nor has remote desktop rights...

    Any hints?

    In the meantime I've tried to logon directly to the console but my password didn't work neither. So I made a decision to reinstall the WHS (after not successful restore from backup - most probably due to missing USB 3.0/external hard disk drivers). Still have no clue what was the cause of this changed password... maybe some malware?
