Did you create the local admin pwd? In BES 5.0, the svc account model for interactive and management logon has changed....by default, unless you are upgrading and had set the permissions there, the svc account has no BAS rights.
Do you remember the local Admin pwd? It prompted you for it during the install.

When I try to log in using the admin account I specified in the setup process returns "The username, password, or domain is not correct. Please correct the entry." I'm using Active Directory for the login method - which I specified and verified in the setup wizard.
