The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q175724 SYMPTOMS
When you try to change the Administrator password when installing
BackOffice Small Business Server, the following error message is displayed:
Microsoft Small Business Server Setup
Invalid Password.
CAUSE
After Microsoft Small Business Server installation is complete, the
Administrator password must be changed. During the first restart, the
AutoAdminLogon feature (with a null or blank password) is used. If the
password for the Administrator account was changed through User Manager
while setup was running, installation will not finish successfully.
RESOLUTION
Follow these steps to reset the password:
- Open User Manager.
- Select the Administrator account.
- On the User menu, click Properties and reset the password to a blank
password.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in BackOffice Small Business
Server 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
