    I am using Windows 7 64 bit, professional edition

    on an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 4000+

    4.0 Gb RAM.

    WHServer in on a

    Compaq Preario

    Intel P4 266 GHz with 2 Gb RAM

    I start the Windows 7 computer and I receive at ballon note indication that my passwords do not match.

    Using the suggested link I update my password, then I receive a screen response indicating user locked out try again.

    I logon remotely change the password to match my user logon with Windows 7 and all is OK for a while.

    I leave the system running to attend to a client, come back and the request pops up again.

    I have changed my password on both the Windows 7 and the WHServer to match, using both 'keep server password' and 'keep computer password'.

    The WHServer is connected to the ADSL, and automatic updates are on and active.

    Okay you might want to try this:

    From the start menu select Run and type (in Vista/W7 just type it into the search or open a command prompt):
    rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

    Select your server from the list and hit remove.

    Log off (or reboot your Windows 7 Machine) try to update your password one more time.  Should do the trick.

    Cheers,
    Al

    If the account is disabled you should enable it from the Windows Home Server Console.  Also be sure that you are setting the password for the correct user - it must match *exactly*.

    Thank you Al for your reply.

    I feel I need to clarify this even further.  I am a User not Administrator on the Windows 7 computer.
    I log onto the WHS as the user, not the administrator.
    The WHS reconises me as that user and the passwords match.
    I have removed the user account and computer from the WHS and restablished the connection and the problem continues.

    Is it that being a user (with limited access) and not the Admiistrator could cause the problem?

    Just a thought!

    Thanks again.
