Alter Login Fails When Login Changes His Own Password
Apr 11, 2008
I have seen alot of comments posted about an Issue in SQL2005 that no one at microsoft could really answer. If a user would try to alter his own login, it would fail stating a permissions error.
This is what I did to get it to work .
USE my_dataBase
GO
Alter Login [my_login] WITH PASSWORD = 'newpassword' OLD_PASSWORD = 'oldpassword'
In previous examples, people were trying to do an alter login without first narrowing it to the database.
If you do not include the USE statement it will fail.
Another thing to note is that they can only change certain things....they cannot turn off check_policy or check_expiration.
Happy Coding

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.

Please Help!!
We have an application using SQLOLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. Per domain policy, the users are required to change their password every 60 days.
The accounts are established to 'Enforce password policy'.
When we try to execute the 'ALTER LOGIN' command to change the password, locks are being established and will not free the account without bouncing the instance.
After issuing the command, any interaction with the server using this UserID results in a "lock request time out" error 1222.
I have tried issuing this command using both the application and through SQLServer Mgmt Studio Express and the results are the same.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005 at home.
My problem is I forgot my password to log in to my server.
I only remember user name is 'sa'.
I haven't used it for two to three months. So I forgot password.
Previously, When I used sql server 2000, my login is as windows login. so no problem.
But this time, I set seperate log in and I got this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I am currently trying to use the Login control in an ASP.NET website with IIS. The control works fine when I am running the website in debug mode within Visual Studio 2005. However, when I create the Virtual Directory in IIS, and try to log in from there, I get an error message as follows:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'.
The application is very simple. I created a Login.aspx page with a login control on it, and I have the default.aspx page. I used theASP.NET administration tool to change the authentication mode to AspNetSqlProvider (forms authentication), and to create one user (no roles). I am using the default provider with the aspnetdb.mdf database. I have been working on this for a few days now, and have searched this site but have not found a solution that works for me. Any suggestions?

In my SQL SERVER 2005, sa login is enabled, despite Windows Authentication mode being set.
When I'm trying to change it to disabled, I get the error "cannot alter 'sa' login. it doesn't exist or you don't have the permission"
How can I change the status?

The sa (system administrator) login seems to be disabled for my SQL Server 2005.
I don't have the permissions to change it from the "loging properties-tab".
And as mentioned in an earlier thread, my windows authentication doesn't work for 2005...
So, is there a way to enable the login for the sa user when your windows authentication is screwed up?
SQLCMD??

JOHAN

I am trying to create a stored procedure to Call ALTER LOGIN based on the the username passed in. However, the Alter login statement chokes on any parameter. Is there a way I can alter sql logins from a web form ?
I try the following and it bombs
ALTER LOGIN @LoginName WITH PASSWORD = @Password
But this works
ALTER LOGIN 'TestUser' WITH PASSWORD = '123test'
I guess the alter login statement does not work with Parameters.
Any thoughts ?

Hi,
How can I alter the SQL Server user login id to a new login id globally so that the database objects which related to the old id will be tied to this new login id ?
Thanks.

Can the ALTER USER statement be used (without a hack like using EXEC) in a stored procedure? I know that the sp_password system stored procedure can not be. Additionally, it is being deprecated anyway. I guess what is boggling me about my attempts so far relate to the errors I am getting due to the user being specified not being in quotes in the syntax. All of the searching I have done so far have come up lame so far; the only examples I have found about it were in scripts that create other scripts for transferring users and other administrative tasks that would be run from the query window, but not from an application. To be complete as possible, here is an example of a script the returns errors:
ALTER PROC [dbo].[lbxChangePassword]
(
@loginid nvarchar(180),
@oldpassword nvarchar(40),
@newpassword nvarchar(40)
) AS BEGIN
IF @oldpassword = (SELECT password FROM contacts WHERE loginid = @loginid)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
UPDATE contacts
SET password = @newpassword
WHERE loginid = @loginid
ALTER LOGIN @loginid WITH PASSWORD=@newpassword OLD_PASSWORD=@oldpassword
END
ELSE
BEGIN
RAISERROR(N'The password you entered does not match your current password.', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN
RAISERROR(N'There was an error creating your new password.', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END
************
This returns:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure lbxChangePassword, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near '@loginid'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Procedure lbxChangePassword, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
************
If ALTER LOGIN isn't how to change the password, then please tell me what the correct practice of changing a password is. I want to use the CURRENT_USER keyword in my queries and want I can't finish setting that up until I have this resolved because users will need to change their own passwords through the application I am developing.

hi,
so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them:
"Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'"
Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error.
I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed'
This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

SQL Server 2005 Express will not allow me to change the password for my login user. I tried deleting the user and re-creating the user. Another password is being put in although the password I put in was accepted. I even test to see what would happen if I left the password blank. It got accepted. But when I look at the password for my login user again, a different and much longer password was put in. I even tried this T-SQL statement:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<passwordname>', CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
I am out of ideals. Is this a bug?

Earlier one of my team member has created a user login and password but forgot the password after few days and now we need to know the password of that login. Some of the application are using this login so we can delete and create a new login with the same name hence is there any possibility or script to find out the password of the existing login.
Note: The login is not 'sa'

How can you force a password, from a sql login, to expire?
I would like to use the password expiration feature for sql logins in SqlServer 2005. The msdn document provides example code for SqlClient SqlConnection.ChangePassword like in Bob Beauchemin's book. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.changepassword.aspx
There is a modify_date in the system view sys.sql_logins but that is read-only.
Thanks,
Karl

I have a 3 node cluster running windows 2003 x64 sp1 and SQL Server 2005 version 9.00.2153. My problem is the following...
This Saturday I migrated a web application's database to this server. After restoring the database I created the sql login for the service account, set the password and disabled the password policy for this login. I then ran sp_change_users_login to attach the already existing db user with the same name to the login. I changed the connection string for the application, tested the application connectivity and functionality then detatched the old database on the old server. Everything went like clockwork, no problems at all.
Come Monday morning at 8:35 I started getting alerts that the web site was down. I tested the site and sure enough it was down. I then attempted to connect to the database server using the login that was created for the app and the connection failed. I logged in with my ID and got in fine. Nothing showing to be wrong with the DB, I checked the new login and somehow the "Enable Password Policy" had been set for the new login. I disabled it and still no connection. I went to the database and checked the DB user and somehow the link between it and the login no longer existed. I reran the sp_change_users_login and restested the web site and verified that that web site was back online.
My question is this, is there any stored proc that resets these values back to default for some reason, a series of events that might revert the "Enable Password Policiy" to the default for a login, or is there a particular domain level operation that might occur such as Security Polcies that would affect these settings in SQL?
No one else was on the machine when I went to check it out at 8:40 so it has left me puzzled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Zach

Hello,
Could anybody explain: is following supposed to work:
CREATE LOGIN test
WITH PASSWORD=0xF1E9E5CA9A79F7B5D883FA4D9680ED1D4D9AAB12 HASHED,
CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
GO
where
0xF1E9E5CA9A79F7B5D883FA4D9680ED1D4D9AAB12
result of
SELECT HASHBYTES ('SHA1','$Test123#')
execution of 'create login' results in following error
Msg 15021, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Invalid value given for parameter PASSWORD. Specify a valid parameter value.
Interesting enough is that if I use MD5 the hash is 8 bytes shorter and create login works but actual login procedure does not. And if I just use plain text password without HASHED everything works.
This is on sqlexpress 2005 sp2. Is this specific to express version?
I've noticed that realatively old SQL BO 2005 states that hashed password should be passed as literal in single quotations ' *** ' (and it does not work) and msdn online states that in case of HASHED hexadecimal value should be passed without single quotations, anyway does not work either ...
Thanks,
--Alex

Our company website runs off of Microsoft SQL Server. Someone tried changing the 'administrative' password but the way that they did it locks us out of the database.
Under Enterprise Manager there is a Security group, underneath here is a login. The person reset the password here on the login id that is the DBO for our website's database. Underneath the database in Enterprise Manager the dbo uses this login id. Where else does the password need to get reset in order for that login id to access the database? We cannot set it back to the previous password because it is unknown.
When we go to our website we get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
Please try the following:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.
Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.

Help!!
I used to have an Access database which had tables for users, roles, actions etc.
This was used by a C++ client app (using ADO) which logged in, got the user ID and password (by raising a login dialog ) and then checked these against a user table and then assigned the roles and possible actions.
Now we have SWL Server Express 2005 - NT Authorisation - how do I get/pass the user ID to the C++ Application so it can get the associated roles? Seems silly to have 2 logins.
Better still can I do away with the App's User table or make its password column invisible to all users bar Admin and the C++ App?
