Can I Change A SQL Server Everywhere Database's Password?
Jun 20, 2006
Hi, I'm using the SQL Server Everywhere CTP on the desktop and haven't used SQL Server Mobile in the past.
I'm having some difficulty determining whether it's possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password. Obviously authentication on a file-based SQL Server Everywhere database differs from that of server-based SQL Server database. Is it possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password?
That said, I feel like I've made a decent search of the to change a SQL Server Everywhere books online. If it's not possible to change the password in place (i.e., without copying all data to a new file with a different password), please count this as a vote to add that functionality. Making a database password "permanent" lessens its effectiveness. Thanks,
We are implementing PCI (Payment Card Industry) and one thing that is required is that we change our encryption keys once a year or when a key custodian leaves. The only way that I have seen to do that is to decrypt all the encrypted data, drop and recreate the symmetric key, the certificate, and database master key, and then re-encrypt the data.
Is there any way to just change the password on the database master key? I understand that if the actual symmetric keys have been breached, that would not be enough, but for routine maintenance, just changing the password on the database master key would seem to be enough.
I have looked and looked, but have not found anyone else that is doing this type of thing. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. Can anyone offer some guidance? Thank!!!
A former Network Manager setup the Sql Server Services NT Domain account. I need the password to set it up on our MS Exchange server, should I change the password or create a new domain account. How can I find out if there is no other applications using the service account in our domain, since the new Network manager doesn't know the password. What happens if I change the password.
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.
HI!I have a little problem:I have change the administrator password (Windows 2003 Server) which MSSQL 2000 use to login.And now the SQL server can't stand up.What should I do?thx!gicio--Posted via http://dbforums.com
SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
We need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or (2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.
I have one server out of 6 that lets me logon as SA with the default password of null. If I run this command to change the password I get password changed, but it did not change it, I still can logon as SA with the NULL password.
The old administrator left and I am learning slowly. Since his password was changed, SQL cannot start. I get an error 1069 login failed. Maybe you have a good idead I haven't thought of?
I've searched this forum and was surprised to not find this asked before - Is there any way to change SA's password (we have managed to lose it somehow)? And we do have physical access to our SQL Server of course...if that helps.

I have a SQL JOB that I inherited that uses FTP to xmit some data. When I attempt to change the password within the FTP job a window warns me that files will be deleted. My question is are these files just sytem buffers or will any important files get the axe ? Thx in advance. Lou
I am trying to change password, using the code below.. The code below is in a stored proc and I am passing these parameters from a web application..... sp_password [ [ @old = ] 'old_password' , ] { [ @new =] 'new_password' } [ , [ @loginame = ] 'login' ]
sp_password 'cust1','cust2','cust1' Server: Msg 15210, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_password, Line 20Only members of the sysadmin role can use the loginame option. The password was not changed. I made my user part of the db_securityadmin role, but that does not help... How can I give the above mentioned permissions, so that when user cust1 logs on then he can chnage his own password from the web application as long he has given his old password correctly?
When using osql from a command prompt the following script was run: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', '', 'TestLogin'
We were trying to set a password for a login to blank, but now cannot access login into the application because the application was looking a blank password for this user but the password would not work for blank.
Note ---This client only has MSDE installed, not SQL Enterprise.
If the script is run from Query Analyzer it works fine.
The script should have been this: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', Null, 'TestLogin'
It should have explictly stated NULL for the new password but it wasn't done.
Is there anyway to reset the password without knowing the existing password. No other logins exist. They tried logging into the system with no password, '',"". I am not sure what the password was set to.
Howdy - I am using SQL 7.0. I have done some research using the Books On Line and I do not find any documentation on how to change the sa password using a SQL Script. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Theres a script that the SQL workprogram instructs someone to run which shows the last change date for a users password. Within the results of the script theres two rows of dates and I would like to know which date indicates the "last password change date"
We have an application using SQLDMO tried to change password. From the trace file, it seems the application used a "SP_password" and the operation failed. However, the application returns its own message which doesn't help us at all in finding the reason. I wonder if SQL server can somehow track the operation(password change) and report a message if it failed. Does anybody know if SQL server 2005 have such type of functionality? Or what could be the possible reasons of the operation failed. (The new passowrd fullfill the requirement of window policy.)
We are wanting to change the SA password on one of our Sql server 2012. My question is what are the implications? Will our agent jobs still run? SSIS packages still run under agent jobs? Is there a proper way/how to change SA password?
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to change the password on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package programatically instead of justmanually using the the interface? I have over 150 DTS packages used for building BI data cubes and our password policy requires a password change every 60 days. I would like to write a windows vb.net application that loops through all the DTS packages and changes the password. Please advise. Thanks Chris
I am looking to create an ASP w/ functionality to change user's SQL password. Many do not have access to EM or Query Analyzer and need a website to visit. Has any had expirience w/ this prior?
I have installed WebMatrix and MSDE and have been able to successfully make a connection from WebMatrix to MSDE. I am used to using SQL Server with Enterprise Manager but I do not have that available to me right now so I'm using MSDE instead. I followed the setup instructions on the WebMatrix tutorial and setup MSDE with an SA password. I would now like to change the password to something else. Is there a command that I can use to do that? There is no Enterprise Manager so I'm kind of stumped. Thanks in advance for your help.
