Managing Base station..wrong password error on correct password?

I have set up OS X Server but when I go to manage my Extreme Base Station in Devices in the control pane it prompts me for the password to the Base Station. I enter the correct one and get the wrong password error, I've also wiped my Base Station and re configured it so I would have a fresh password to use and I still get the error. I am using OSX 10.8 on Mac Mini 2010, with the newest Base Station on the latest firmware, with no advanced settings just a simple wireless network. I have verified my passwords in Keychain so I know they are correct.

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion

Running into same issue here. Using fresh install of Mountain Lion Mac OS X 10.8.2 Server. "Enter your Airport password to manage Airport settings with Server" does not seem to work and gives me "incorrect password" regardless of what is entered.


The Time Capsule is using the latest firmware. I did a hard reset on the Time Capsule and still could not get Mac OS Server to login to manage it. Of course tried the default password of "public" which does not work in the Mac OS X 10.8 server interface but presumably works elsewhere (setup from iPhone, from Mac using Airport Utility)


The GUI can't even get started in OSXS 10.8 which leads me to believe this feature is just flat busted like other pieces of OSXS 10.8 (SNAFU). ?

Same problem here. This is my first and only install, it's completely fresh. I didn't upgrade from earlier versions and have never had it on my machine and it won't manage my Airport Express. I wonder if it's even worth continuing. Apple products are suposed to work perfectly together and make life easier. Now I have to either manualy forward ports or wait for the update. Chop Chop Apple.
