I too had the same activation loop issue. Here is a solution if you cannot log in to your server:
Note: this will not work remotely. You need to be able to connect directly to your computer running WHS. You should still be able to access and save your files on the home server.
1) On another computer connected to your server, download Antiwpa-V3.4.6 and save it to your software folder.
2) Boot up your WHS computer in safe mode (press F8 on start up to do this)
3) Run AntiWPA3 (from D:\shares\software)
4) Reboot WHS in normal mode.
You shoould now be ready to go!

works fine
easier to start from 9 to 16 step and then change OOBETimer code, not need to rush then cause system hasn’t permission to change code back or modify it.
Thanks
