I Changed My Windows Password And Now I Cannot Connect To SQL Server On My Development Machine
Jun 11, 2007
I changed the login password on my computer today, and now I cannot connect to the SQL Server instance I have on that same machine. I am using Windows Authentication.
I would think that, if I can log on to my computer, I would be able to connect to the database, since I have been "authenticated" by windows but, that does not appear to be the case.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Can someone point me at an article that tells how to allow the ASP.net worker process to connect, via windows authentication, to a remote sql server instance ?
WE have an appl testing the SQL security feature, at some point in time they drop the BUILTINAdministrators group from the login, changed the security mode to "Windows NT only", but no users have system admin server role, after the SQL server was restarted, no one can connect to the server. No one has authority to change the security mode back to "mixed" (all standard logons will not work) Any comment ?
The way I can think of to fix the problem: detach all user databases run rebuildm.exe reattach all user databases recreate the required logins
I think my description says it all. I have just installed Studio Express for the first time.
I want to attach a database. When the connect to server dialog is displayed the user name and password text box is greyed out. The Password box is blank and I need to edit this. I switch to SQL authentication they are enabled but if I switch back to Windows authentication they are both greyed out.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still no luck,
Hi, I need help finding a good back up solution for SQL Server 2005. I am hosting several databases in a shared environment and do not have admin rights to detach & copy & reattach the database file. I can have the hoster back up the file, but that is a manual process and I have had other issues with it in the past (access rights, cost, etc.). I have also tried creating a new business intelligence project, but have found it difficult to do a complete exact copy (while maintaining primary key values) as I run into many concurrency violations. This is especially true in databases that use the standard asp.net membership services tables. Is there a way to get an exact duplicate of the structure & data of a sql server 2005 database without having to create a new Business Intelligence Project? Or is there an easy way to do this within BI that doesn't require a table-by-table setup? The primary purpose of this backup for me is for use on my development machine. Backup for data security/recovery is handled by the ISP. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi all! I know I might sound stupid, but I have this problem. I have developed my database on my laptop which does not use Active directory. Lets say I access the database with: SPIDERMANDB1 on SQL server, where the name of my laptop is SPIDERMAN, and the database is DB1. Now, I create an SQL script from sql server and make the necessary changes, like changing the computer name to say, SUPERMAN where my deployment server's name is SUPERMAN. But when I run the SQL script on the SUPERMAN server, it gives me an error like: "User or role SUPERMANDB1 does not exist in this database". I have deployed databases in this way on servers without Acive directory, so I'm sure its not a mistake on my side. So how am I supposed to go around this active directory thingi! Please help me out! I'm counting on u guys!
Hi all Pros I am transfering from windows2003 server and MS SQL 2000 to Windows Vista and SQL Express ...... Before I allways created a database manually and I could allways use as many databases I needed so in that way I could have several versions of a database for a certain software during development. Can you use separeted databasenames when developing in SQL Express? I am using a dotnetnuke installation file and inside the project there is a file /App_Data/Database.mdf should this file be renamed everytime I make a new testinstallation or setting up a separate dev environment /Johan

I wasn't able to connect to my SQL server 2000 database (which reside in the network in a windows 2003 server) after the IP address of the server has changed and the server is shut down, moved and re-started.
I was able to connect to this server by using ADO using VB. I was able to register this server in my EM and was able to create ODBC connection. Just when using ADO.NET, I wasn't able to connect. Any ideas? Will there be any caching within ADO.NET still pointing to the old IP address?
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.
This is my installation Information

All, My ISP does not allow me to remotely connect to my hosted SQL Server DB--how can I use SQLDataSource and other data bound controls in development? Here are my specs: IDE: Visual Web Developer Express 2005 Database: MS SQL Server ASP Version: ASP.NET 2.0 The SQL Server is hosted centrally at the ISP; basically I have been given the connection string parameters. My question is this: Do I use two web.config files (one for when I develop locally and one for when I deploy remotely)? If so, how? Will the SQLDataSource control find the connection string defined in web.config on the remote server? I don't want to have to write all of the database code and it would be a big loss of one of the major benefits of using ASP.NET 2.0 if I do. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Leslie
When I start SQL Server Management Studio from my development PC and connect to a remote SQL-server, I do NOT see any Diagrams. When I use Remote Desktop and connect to the server, and the open SQL, I see the diagrams. Is there a way to get the diagrams to work on my local machine?
We have multiple development environments on one machine for our VisualStudio .net projects.These are web applications so we have organized them by IP Address andHost Headers.When I installed Reporting Services, it installed into my default website (localhost) and that is fine.However, we want to be able to create our reports in our different .netprojects. The only projects that will allow me to create reports arethe projects using the default website.When I right click to create a new project, the Business Intelligenceprojects (reports) type is not there.Can I do this? If so, how do I configure it?
I would like to install the components I need to develop a SSIS custom component. Is there an SDK or install option for just the visual studio components?
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Hello!We are running MS SQLServer 7.0 with ASP on Win 2k Server.Today suddenly the Web server couldn't connect to the DB Serverbecause the password for sa was wrong.We found out that the password was changed.Is it some kind of hacking thing or just normal password expiration?The same thing happended several month ago.Thanks.Sam
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.
We have a Job that calls a SSIS package 2005 that does some processing and execute a BAT file. This Job is being called by a web application.The BAT file creates a folder and named it based on the current date ( YYYY_MM) e.g 2015_07
It was working okay in the SQL Agent 2005 server until we moved to the new server SQL Agent 2012 using the same package SSIS package 2005. Now the issue is, instead of creating the folder based on YYYY_MM, it's now being created as YYYY_DD.I've checked the Regional settings of both server and they have the same "ENGLISH (United States) format. I even ran the code below and they're returning the same output echo %date:~ 10,4%_% date :~4,2%
I know the BAT file can be improved by not depending current locale in WINDOWS, but I just want to understand how this issue occurs and how does the regional setting being overridden?
1.) Can an aspnetdb.mdf database be configured and setup on one server and then be moved to a production server or is there something machine specific that keeps this from being possible? 2.) Is putting this file in the app_data folder something that is used only for SQL 2005 or SQL express? I had to set up a connection string in my SQL 2000 installation to get the connection to work. Thanks for any input! Colelaus
Hello, I know this has been covered many times but I just can't get an answer that applies to my situation. - SQL Server is on different machine.- I need to connect to SQL Server with SQL authentication. (Not a Windows account)- I CAN connect through Server Explorer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CAN run stored procedures through the Query Analyzer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CANNOT connect by the browsing ASP.NET applicationI have tried the connection string in the Web.Config and at the page level but keep getting messages such as Login failed for user 'User' or sometimes "Not associated with a trusted Connection"In Web.Config I have:<authentication mode="None" /> On the page I have:Dim strConn As String = "database=servername;initial catalog=databasename;user id=User;password=password"Dim conn As New SqlConnection(strConn)conn.Open()I always get an error at conn.Open()I have spent too many hours playing around with this - any suggestions?? Please!!By telling it to connect as User the ASPNET account does not have to be created in SQL Server correct?Thanks for any help!!

Hi Friends I have a sql server (2005 standard edition) on Win xp machine. i can connect to this server from my machine ok but others on the network try to connect i get following error
"An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) "
but my remote connection allows remote connects. i also enabled "Named pipes" and "VIA" protocols under sql configuration manager but no avail. any ideas on this one. Thanks for your help.

I am hoping you will be of assistance to me and provide a little advice on what exactly is possible using SQL Express / SQL Server 2005 with regards to remotely connecting to a server.
I am a final year undergraduate student studying computing sciences in the UK. As a final year project I am attempting to create a client-server database, where the client (a WM5 PDA) can connect to an SQL server hosted on a different machine (a PC). However, I must be able to connect to the server when the PDA is being used on any Wi-Fi connection.
Basically I want the PDA to be able to connect to a database kept on the PC at home when you're out and about using the PDA's wi-fi.
Is this possible? If so, could you explain in 'dummy' terminology how one would go about this?
As my university is part of the MS Academic Alliance I have access to VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 for this project.
Many thanks for your time and I eagerly await your responses! Simon

I am trying to connect to a SQL server on a deferent machine using ASP.Net written in C#. The machine on which the SQL server reside dose not have the ASPNET user and the authentication is falling. Any ideas on how to connect using a different User. I changed the ASP.Net service on my machine to run as a deferent user MyUser, which is a domain user that have access to the server machine?
Note: We can not change the privileges on the server side.
When you connect to SQL Server using SQLConnection, how to set client machine name(or IP address) so that you can monitor the process on Server side using Enterprise Manager?
This is weird situation for me as i can access my database server from 32- bit processor and its working fine but when i try to connect through 64 bit processor it throws the following error : Please help. I am using enterprise library january 2006 to access database.
An Error has occured while stablishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow Remote Connections . (provider : Named Pipes provider,error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I know there have been many posts made on this subject; however, despite the resources available, I have not been able to get this to work! I've spent time working on this here and there over the last couple of months only resulting in frustration. I am finally posting to solicit help for my situation to figure out what is wrong with my SQL Server or firewall configuration.
Two machines connected to a router, one wireless, one wired. Both have SQL Server Express and the Management Studio tools installed. From either machine I can connect to its local SQL Server Express instance.
I have enabled Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. (BTW what is VIA?)
I have added sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my Windows Firewall exceptions. I have tried disabling Windows Firewall. One of the machines is configured as DMZ in the router configuration.
Please, someone offer up some brilliant diagnostic steps I am missing to expose what is wrong in my setup and make this work... Thank you!
Additional Information: An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that unthe default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
