OK,

You know the IP address of the server, DHCP or static?
You have the admin PW. and can connect to the server.

If you have an OS file corruption and the gui does not work. Use a terminal to gain access, via a null modem cable to com1. This is kind of a diaster recovery process which will allow you to reset some functions and force the unit into recovery mode. From there you should have the options to reset most any thing and re-instsall the os. Plus you can do a clean install with the OS if you have the gsu file.
