403 error after installation reboot

C

Hi, I just installed plesk on windows 2008 standard edition. The installation went fine and I logged in to https://localhost:8443 and setup my domain and ftp accounts and logged into ftp and everything was going fine.

But when I rebooted my machine, and I click on the plesk control panel icon to go to https://localhost:8443, I get a 403 error directory listing denied.

When I type in https://localhost:8443/index.php it goes to the main admin login page. I type in my username/password and the index.php page accepts my login but redirects me to another page with a 403 error. If I type in the wrong username/password, it'll say the wrong login has been inputted.
 
Try plesk repair.

Goto control panel -> Add/remove pgms -> Plesk control panel -> change

select repair
