Freshly installed server - unable to log in

[EdwardG]

On a freshly installed server, Ubuntu 10.04, Plesk 10.2.0, there is an encrypted password in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow. I ran this:
/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password

The password shown matched what was put when the server was built.

The decrypted password won't let me log in as 'admin' to the panel.

I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ed G.

Use root login and its password for the first login

Thanks. Problem turned out to be transitory and not reproduceable a bit later on.
