Hi All,
I have a sql server database user with Password must change, and I get this error when i use ODBC connection wizard,
18488
Login failed for user '%.*ls'. Reason: The password of the account must be changed.
where would the windows shows up to change it similary we do when we connect through Management studio and provide new password.
Any idea.
Any idea why this happened and what do i have to do to reslove it?
Code Snippet
Login failed for user 'dd_user'. Reason: The password of the account must be changed.
Well, I inherited a SQL Server ....sob story.........installer won`t call back.....sob story.....buying books like mad......sob story. Geez, this was a *great* job when I interviewed.....
Regardless, I do not know the password for the sa account on a SQL 6.5 server running on NT4SP3. We are using standard securtiy. Do I have any options?
Hopefully, the technical discussion doesn`t reference rubber garden watering implements. :{)
Thanks,

Folks,
MSSQLServer and SQL Server Agent services under NT are running under a system account under our domain (setup many moons ago) for which we have lost the passsword. Is there any way we can recover these passwords?
Thanks.

Hai,
While installing SQL Server 2000 on my Windows 2000 Advanced Server, i choose Windows Authentication mode, so i was not able to enter a password for sa account. And after installation, in Enterprise Manager i could still see sa account under logins but the account has a password.
So my question is what is the default password for sa account when we choose Windows Authentication mode and is it possible to change the mode from windows Authentication to Mixed Authentication mode after installation, with out re-installaing SQL Server 2000.
Thank you in advance
With regards

I am trying to adapt a vb6 application to support sqls 2005 features. I am using SQL Server Authentication and want to support the feature which forces the user to change his password on the next login. Using an SQLOLEDB connection string, on trying to log I get an error saying that the password must be changed - fair enough - but how can I do this? I would have expected to be able to supply both old and new passwords in the connection string, but there does not seem to be any such feature. Am I missing something obvious?
Couldn't able to login with sa account, seems someone having admin account have changed this sa password.Is there any way to determine who and when have changed this password.It is known that SQL can't log this information in its log, is there any other ways.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)
Thanks
We have changed NT Administration Password. Now how to reassign the new password setting for sql server service account. As right now all schedule jobs are getting failed & needs to be executed manually.
Thanks in Advance

Ugh! Someone changed the password of our SQL Server service account. It is called syssql, and it is used by the MSSQLServer and SQL Executive services to log in at startup. After the password was changed, we noticed that replication wasn’t running, and since I know that replication uses the Executive service, I restarted that service using the new password. That worked to get replication working again, and since the boxes were production machines I didn’t restart the MSSQLServer service with the new password yet. Now, our syssql account keeps on locking up every so often, and scheduled tasks that use xp_sendmail stopped working, and alerts stopped sending. Is this happening because of the MSSQLServer service still being logged in with the old password? I suspect that the SQL Mail logs in through the MSSQLServer service, which is still using the old password, and the login failures are causing the syssql account to lock. Any other ideas???

We are running SQL Server 2000 on two servers and when they were built, the same domain account was used for all installations, and the MSSQLSERVER and SQLServerAgent services run logged in as that same account. That account is also the dbo of all the SQL databases. We now need to change the password and possibly disable that domain account.
What do we need to do to make sure the SQL Servers and databases continue to run without problems after making the password change and/or disabling the account?
I appreciate any advice!
Wjen sql 2005 is installed a Service Master key is generated using the password of the account under which sql 2005 server runs.
Suppose I use a domain account to run sql server. The account password will change every so often. I presume this change will not impact the validity of the existing Service master key and therefore any data indirectly encrypted by it. Am I correct?

Hi
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. When I try changing the account name, password in the SQL Server Configuration Manager, i.e. by clicking on Apply, the SQLEXPRESS restarts and the password gets replaced by a longer password. Also the user name gets prefixed with "./". Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Another query: Do we have the query analyser (gui or command line) kind of thing in Express Edition? Also where can I get a proper documentation of doing elementary things in setting up a database, like creating a database, adding a user, etc)
Thanks and Regards

Hi!I'm wondering is there any simple way to achieve the followingfunction call in SQL Server. The sentence to translate is (Oraclesyntax):to_char(rownum, '000')rownum: number of the current rowto_char: formats a number (the 1st param) according to the formatdefined in the 2nd param. In this case, the '000' preprends 2 or morezeros until forming a 3-digit number.I'm using it in something like:SELECT id_table, string_column || TO_CHAR(ROWNUM,'000') FROM tableThanx a bunch,Cro
View 6 Replies View RelatedA 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.
I can get to the DB and find the user account, but I see nowhere to change the password? My app requires a password that meets Windows Security requirements and the one that was initially created is not long enough.....

My goal is to write a DR plan where i am restoring all user databases onto a diffrent server in a event of hardware failure. I was trying to figure out a way to extract DDL of user accounts and their permissions on all user databases so i can simplify my DR documentation.Â
Â
This is the plan I came up with...to restore all system and user dbs on a different Physical SQLServer.
1. build named instance $PROD
2. restore master database
   - startup sqlserver in single user mode -m or DAC sqlcmd -S ServerName -U sa -P<xxx> –A
   net stop MSSQLSERVER$PROD
   net start MSSQLSERVER$PROD -m
   - restore database master from disk e:master.bak with replace;
  Â
3. start sqlserver normally
4. stop SQLServer agent
5. restore msdb
-restore database msdb disk e:msdb.bak with replace;
6. restart SQLServer
7. Restore User Databases.
8. Run Sp_change_users_login for all users
-Sp_Change_users_logins 'auto_fix','username'
Need to display current time in below format:

Hi!
I'm using RDA from my Windows Mobile. On my developer computer I've set up anonymous authentication against my IIS. Now I want to set it up for real. What access should the RdaUser account have that I use in IIS to be able to work correct against the Sql Server 2005? Is User group preveliges ok? In Sql Server 2005 do I need to add the RdaUser to Server Logins and map against my database?

Hi guys,
My users are unable to view reports on server A. When trying to access it shows up as users have no access to the reports.
We have another server B which also deploys the same set of reports,to the same set of users as Server A.Users are able to view the reports on Server B.
Both server B & A are used for deploying reports that are created on another development server.I am very new to the concepts of IIS and report administration.Could someone tell me what I can start checking on? What are the settings that I can compare on both server ?
If I am not very clear on the problem explained above.Do let me know I would be glad to explain futher.
Hi all,I would like to know how I can retrieve the user ID and password from the DB if I have created a new user account using SQL server 2000? I want to create a login page in .aspx page but I am not sure how I can pull out the login info from the DB and then compare with the uesr input? Is that any specific table store the user ID and password by default?I would be very appreciated for any code example in both conditions (window authentication and SQL server authentication). Thanks.

Hi,
My original account on the AD (Active Directory) was Usr129 and at that time I had installed MSDE on my local box - due to which my "local MSSQLServer" was also called Usr129.
Sometime back our LAN administrator renamed the accounts of all users. My new account on the AD (after this renaming) became GBUsr1177. Untill recently, my "local MSSQLServer" also appeared to have easily go through this renaming activity and thus my local installation became GBUsr1177.
Recently I started to have performance problem (on everything that I do on my local SQL installation via Enterprise manager) and I have this "feeling" that probably at the bacground it is still searching for the old SQL installation???
Can someone please guide me regarding how to get out of this (without re-installating everything).
New to SQL Server. Plan to install SQL Server 2005 standard edition on Windows 2k3. After searched a lot of places, still don't understand what exactly "domain user account" is. Could someone explain it to me?
1. Is this a OS account where SQL Server is running?
2. Or, is this an account under domain controller on other machine? Is this an account on DNS srver? How do I create it?
3. Or, is this an account in SQL Server?
Where is this account located? How do I manage it?
TIA.
I found the the status of guest account in model database is abnormal,but i don't know how to make it active.
any suggestions?
thanks

I need to check if the old password that he typed is existing. When it is existing, then update the db. But if not, do not update. The problem is, even if the password that he typed does not correspond to the user that he is editing, still the data is being updated. Please help me fix it. Maybe I have to use other codes. Tnx!

View 5 Replies View RelatedDuring install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.
