Hi,
I added a new domain to my VPS server, named CORP. Then I restarted, and attempted to log on to "This Computer", which is FCNATIONALINC, using syntax FCNATIONALINC\Administrator (username) and ************* (password, blanked for security).
But now it's not letting me log on. And I didn't change any passwords.
I can access the server, but I cannot log on at all, using either domain. Please help!

Re: Locked Out of VPS!
To reset your password you can use the "Windows_password_recovery.iso" DVD:
1. Insert it into your virtual DVD drive through the "Server control" page
2. Make sure that the "Try to boot from drive #1 before the hard disk" option is set
3. Turn off, then back on your machine
4. When the disk boots, you will generally have to use all the default options, when the disc asks
You should blank the administrator password through this tool, instead of trying to set a new one, since that is most likely to work. After you're done, and you reboot, you should be able to log in successfully.
There's a walkthrough for the disc here: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/walkthrough.html
If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to try other than a reinstall of Windows =\.
