password not working in Gnome

[mrmarkfr]

I've installed Amahi7, and the VNC app, installed gnome as per instructions when the vnc app didn't want to install.
I just added a new drive to the system, and it's saying that authentication is required.
I tried the password, and the root password for my user, neither worked.
I also noticed that the gnome installed seems to be a reduced variant. Is there a way to make this into the full featured version(my current server, whs2011, runs headless 90% of the time, but I have a monitor hooked up to it for maintenance every once in a while. I'd like to be able to run Wine on the Amahi server so I can run a Win7 image for some windows only programs.
My next step once I get the drives installed is to install the GreystoneUI. Can I mount the drives through Greystone, or do I have to mount them in Fedora first?
Am I better off blowing away this install of Amahi, installing the full Fedora first, then Amahi, then install VNC, would that make life easier for what I'm trying to do?

Not a good idea to mix the VNC app and the wiki guidance. The only safe way to get a full desktop is by installing Amahi via Fedora 19 USB install guidance.

Not sure how Wine will work along side Amahi, but should be possible.

As for Greyhole, it will only recognize drive/partitions once they have been mounted in the OS. Follow adding a second hard drive to your HDA guidance to accomplish this task.

I would recommend you start over if a desktop is your goal. Using the Express CD is designed to be headless. While you can use VNC to remotely access the server, it's not a true desktop in the fashion you want to use it.

I don't think I mixed the wiki guidance with the VNC app, I just followed the instructions here on what to do if you have a problem getting VNC working, and VNC worked.

I'll try installing Fedora first, then try it again.

Understand. There are occasions when VNC fails to install the first time as there any many packages installed in Fedora. It's best if it does not work to uninstall, then reinstall. I have seen many who were successful with that method.

I am not a big fan of VNC being used to install a desktop for use as you desire. If a desktop is needed, it's best to follow the USB guidance and get the desktop by default.

Obviously the point of running a server is to have it headless, but I understand there are some situations where that just won't do.
