ok can someone tell what i should be logging in to as ROOT

http;//servername/server-manager

i can login to the above as ADMIN but not as root

the screen shot in the last post is where i set the password. but for some reason using username=root and password as @Passw0rd doesn't work hmm maybe a rebuild and select a new password.

cheers

Do you have console access? i.e. a monitor and keyboard hooked up to your server?

or is it remote. If remote you need to enable ssh access in the remote access page and install on your desktop either putty and/or winscp.


Putty.exe

I guess you haven't read the Users Guide. It would be a good idea if you did that, at least twice.

I'm sure that it also doesn't say anything about logging into the server manager as root.
