Intel AMT gives 401 Unauthorized when trying to login

Question

I'm trying to get AMT working on a brand new DQ77KB motherboard. I've followed this setup guide but I can't login to the web interface (http://[IP]:16992) or though the KVMControlApplication.exe. Both approaches gives me a 401 Unauthorized. I'm using admin as the username, I've tried a lot of different passwords containing different special letters, I've reset the AMT with a jumper on the MEBx header on the motherboard to be sure every was reset and I'm an Intel AMT noob :-)

What am I doing wrong?

Maby the issue is as simple as the special letters are not what I think they are. The password input is masked and I'm using a non english keyboard. I'll look in to this tomorrow. — Christoffer Hoel, Mar 13 '14 at 08:20

A total PEBKAC :-)

It was indeed a keyboard layout issue. One can use the hostname input as a scratchpad if running in to issues.

You should setup Intel AMT first. Enter MEBx and press Activate Network Access.
You should login to the web from another host (not AMT-computer to control). Login as admin and password which you set in MEBx.
