I purchased Lion Server on Mac Mini and last night I proceeded to play with the Server App. I placed a password on it all was good.
Tonight when I tried to sign onto Server the password was remembered but I can't sign in. I removed the password and signed in manually with the same result. I checked the password stored in Keychain Access and it was the password I entered in last night. It is the same password I use to sign onto the Mac Mini.

What can I do so that I can sign onto Server?

I also noticed that when I try to send email in my Gmail account in Mac Mail I receive the following error:
An error occurred when trying to sign this message with a certificate from *&&^@gmail.com. Verify that your certificate for this address is correct, and that its private key is in your keychain.

PS
 
Thank you StevenMeyer.

My problem is that I was signing into Server w/o any issues but all of a sudden it is rejecting my password.

Is there anyway to reset the Server password?
 
Thank you Mr. StevenMeyer!

That saved me a lot of time reinstalling Lion. That was sweeter than a drop of my favorite single malt.

Cheers!
 
You'll want to re-insall Lion Server anyways, or at least prepare yourself to. Apple is not exactly reliable in the server OS department and it will just stop working suddenly for no reason at all. It does seem to be happiest on a clean install.
