I have HP EX470 MediaSmart Server. Main Hard Drive failed so I am attempting to replace it. Installed replacement hard drive and then using the HP Server Recovery Disk I
rebooted HP MediaSmart Server into recovery mode from a PC running Windows XP.
Installed Server Software successfully except that the installation never allowed creation of the server password and that the hard drive still has a red bar light and at the bottom of the server I have two blue lights on the left followed by a purple light on the right. After the Server software is installed you are directed to proceed with the installation of the Connector Software.
The second screen of this installation requests you enter the Windows Home Server password.
The recovery mode Server Software installation never requested creation of a server password.
Pressing the Password hint reveals "" which means the password is blank or never created.
How to proceed from here?
