I have an existing AGS 10.1 server install and some web services running without any problem. Not knowing the primary site admin password or any other admin password, I went ahead to reset the primary admin password based on http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//0154000005pw000000. But many parts of the server manager became broken. For example, refreshing any services gives this error:
service failed to start. SampleWorldCities.MapServer: ERROR: code:500, ArcGIS Server Site is not configured. Check with your ArcGIS Server administrator for resolution; an ArcGIS Server site is created or machines are added to an existing site using ArcGIS Server Manager., Cannot connect to this server.
Any idea how to fix this?

I happened to be in the configuration of a new ArcServer 10.1 server. I have tried the methods you mentioned in the link.
I can change the password. After I re-login the system, everything works fine.
Maybe, you should do as the error message says, to check the site configurations are correct, including the config-store, the directories, the log folders.
Good luck,
Mike
