I have set up a SharePoint environment where I have set up a test web application and a site collection. It is important to mention that everything has been set up using the administrator account. Once I try to logging in using administrator account it fails after 3 tries and it just give me a blank screen.I also checked IIS for security setting but I do not see anything wrong!As a side note I am able to connect Central administrator without any problems using the administrator account.I think it is a security setting but I do not know where to startHelp is greatly appreciate

Are you trying to connect from the server its self? If so, have you set the "Disable Loopback Check" registry change? That is usually what I see going on in these scenarios.Jeff DeVerter, MCSERackspaceblog:http://www.social-point.comtwitter: http://www.twitter.com/jdeverter

I have set up a SharePoint environment where I have set up a test web application at first be sure that your account is Site Collection administrator (check this in Central Administration).at second, try following Jeff's suggestion (http://blogs.bluethreadinc.com/thellebuyck/archive/2008/10/14/401.1-error-when-accessing-sharepoint-from-server.aspx)

thank you Jeff everything is working now
