Cannot login to SharePoint Central Administration, HELP!!   

I went and installed SharePoint followed all the instructions in the help 
file for installing it to the default.  Then when it was complete it had me 
reboot my server.  However the instructions say that a web page will be 
loaded that will allow me to finish configuring the server.  Here are the 
instructions:
_________________________________________________________________
Install Windows SharePoint Services
If you do not have Windows SharePoint Services, you can download it from the 
Microsoft Web Site.

  1.. On the computer where you want to install Windows SharePoint Services, 
insert the Windows SharePoint Services CD into your server computer's CD-ROM 
drive or connect to a network installation point.
  2.. Click Start, and then click Run.
  3.. In the Open box, type d:\setupsts.exe (where d: is your computer's 
CD-ROM drive or network installation point).
  The Windows SharePoint Services Setup program opens.

  4.. On the End-User License Agreement (EULA) panel, review the terms, 
select the I accept the terms in the License Agreement check box, and then 
click Next.
  5.. On the Type of Installation panel, click the Server Farm option, and 
then click Next.
  6.. On the Summary panel, verify that only Windows SharePoint Services 
will be installed, and then click Install.
  Setup runs and installs Windows SharePoint Services.

  When setup completes, a browser will launch and the Configure Admin 
Virtual Server page will be displayed.

________________________________________________________________

However, when the computer rebooted I did not get into the Configure Admin 
Virtual Server page.  Now I can not logon to the "SharePoint Central 
Administration".  How do I get to that Configure Admin Virtural Server page? 
Any clues out there for what I can do to finish my install?

Thanks

RE: Cannot login to SharePoint Central Administration, HELP!!   

Since after installation the webpage is displayed and only when the reboot 
happens you cannot log in. have you checked the event log? did the services 
for wss start? Is that account used for wss service active (meaning the 
account isn't disabled or password expired? also try checking the iis app 
pool for wss.
