WHS 2011 Online Experience Password Error
If you are not in the US and have been trying to access the online evaluation experience for WHS 2011 than you may have experienced problems trying to access it. The Evaluation Guide asks you to log into the user account screen and the Dashboard using the password "pass@word1", but upon doing so I got the following error message:
We have all seen the user name or password is incorrect error message before and I retried just in case the finger slipped but once again the same error message. After a quick scratch of the grey matter and restarting the hyper V experience I released that the @ symbol is at another location on a US keyboard (above the number 2 key) and with myself residing in the UK the keyboard layout is different. So typing "pass" then shift 2 (for @) then "word 1" got me in.
So just to clarify if you are using a non US keyboard you need to press the Shift key plus the number 2 key for the @ symbol.

You guys drive on the other side of the road and have different keyboards too???? I could never live in the UK! Or maybe we have it all wrong over here in the US? 😉
Thanks for the info on the password blunder.
Just wondering when we are going to be able to buy WHS 2011. I hope it will be less that £100,or will probably stick with V1, which has been great.
V1 is dead, long live V1.
