The Home Server Show website is reporting that users of the 64 bit version of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (Build 7100) are having a problem connecting their machine to their Windows Home Server.
Although the connector software installs correctly the client then alerts you that your Windows 7 machine and WHS passwords are not the same, although they are. When trying to enter the passwords in the prompt to fix the problem, the WHS password is not accepted.
A solution was posted in Microsoft’s WHS Software forum by user "Dan" which corrects the problem and is duplicated on The Home Server Show website here for you.

If this fixes what I think it should, I will be so grateful. Thanks!

The same password problem exsists on my 32bit version of Windows 7. Will try the solution.

Got the same problem with the 32bits 7100 Version.
However, this fix DIDN’T work on my system. The problem is still present.
