Just installed Project Server - How do I sign on?

[Joseph Geretz]

I just installed Project Server. On the local server, from the Start menu, I
attempt to access Configure Microsoft Office Project Server. This takes me
to a log in page which refuses any credentials I give it. The instructions
on how to set up an account are less than helpful:

-----------------------
Setting up a Project Server account
The server administrator for Project Server manages the creation of
accounts. Your server may be configured so that the server administrator
must create user accounts. Contact your server administrator to check your
account settings or the account creation settings for your organization.
------------------------

Contact my server administrator? I *am* the server Administrator! Now
what do I do?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Joseph,

Project Server has 2 kinds of authentication, one is a Windows
Authentication and the other a Project Server. By default during installation
you would have been prompted to key in the Project Server Admin password
which is the first user that will be created and no other users.

You'll need to use that login to enter to the Admin page to create other
users and configure. If you've forgotten that, then you're more a less bound
to redo the whole installation again or you could go into the SQL DB to
change the password.

Lovely isn't it? Hope that helps.
