Login Issue after Project Portfolio Server 2007 Installation

[EPMNovice]

Hello,

I am facing a unique problem. I recently downloaded & installed the
evaluation version of MS Project Portfolio Server 2007 on SQL Server 2005.
Installation went well, however, I am not able to login using any of the
standard user Ids.

I have tried logging in using the windows ID which I have used for
installing the PPS (as mentioned in the installation guide). Login fails with
error message "You have entered an incorrect user name/password combination."
I have also tried without any password and received same error.

When I checked the dbo.SfUsers table, for default administor ID I can see
the password as "Invalid pass, uses Integrated Auth".

Pls. let me know how I can login to the tool first time after installation.

Thanks.

Did anyone get a fix for this? I am having the same problem.
Mike Glen's suggestion to go to project.mvps is completely useles, the site
hasn't been updated since May 2008 and only refers to Project 2003.

Did you get a reply when posting on the Project server forum? That's
where the experts are. While they many hang out here, the other forum
discusses Project Server. I also notice a few hits on this topic via
Google:

I actually located another post in this forum -

It stated that the person installed Portfolio Server (no SP1) first. I
tried and at least I get to the Logon Page now.

Hi Rob and the others,

I have found the cure for the PPS error post-installation.

You have to add your service account and machine account (both having '$'
tag) after their names to these groups:

1. SQL User Group
2. WSS Central ADmin - Application Management - Offer services to other
sites in the farm.

Restart IIS and run the connection page for PPS Again.

Best Regards,
