Lost Sa Password... 2005-&>2000 Conversion?
Mar 15, 2007
Hello, I'm running an MS SQL 2005 database which supports our entire website and it's fairly huge. I seem to have lost the sa password for the database.
I COULD get it back if there was a way to convert the SQL 2005 DB to an SQL 2000 DB, seeing as how I found a password cracker for that version. Is there anyway to convert a 2005 DB back to a 2000 DB?
Does anyone have any other ideas they might want to lay on me?
I'm kind of sick about this... I'm usually a really good note-taker; In fact, I do have the sa password recorded in an IT database that I keep. Unfortunately the password just doesn't work. I've tried the caps lock and other variations, but the password just eludes me.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

I need to retrieve the SA Password through MS SQL 2005. The reason why is I am trying to connect a number of computers in the same building for an Address Book to be shared by everyone. I will be using the program, Addressinator! to do this. But I need to have the SA password in order to connect the computers.
I am running Windows XP. I have read a few instructions on how to retrieve or make a new password on the net, but most of it doesn't make sense to me.
For Example, this is one that I found:
To reset the sa password, you can make the following:
1. Login to the SQL Server box as the Administrator.
2. Run SQL Server Enterprise Manager. (I don't have the Enterprise Manager)
3. Right-click the server name and choose 'Edit SQL Server Registration properties'. (I can't find the properties!)
4. Choose 'Use Windows authentication' and click OK button.
5. Expand a server, expand a Security and click Logins.
6. Double-click the sa login and specify new password on the General tab.
I hope someone can help me out with this.
Thanks!

I've had a VB 6 / SQL Server 2000 app running in a network enviroment for a couple of years now at a client of mine. Recently, he upgraded to the latest version of Quickbooks which installed SQL Server 2005 on the server. Now there is SQL Server 2000 and 2005 residing on the same server. My VB app still runs on the server but will not run on other machines. I can ping the server from the other machines. Has SQL 2005 taken over the port I was using or maybe has new security features that won't let me access SQL 2000 using my current connection string? Here is my current connection string:
mstrConnStr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=" & strServerLogin & ";Password=" & strServerPW & ";Initial Catalog=" & strDBName & ";Data Source=" & strServer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
My company took over a project that another company was building. The other company switched all the passwords for the system and the database right before they left. No one has the passwords to the system or the database. Is there a way I can dump the data, or re-mount the drives into a different machine and get the data? Or am I just screwed? I have physical access to the machine and I can do anything needed I just need this data asap!!
TIA

Hi All,
I have lost the system administrator password for my test server which contains
inf. which I cannot afford to loose. The SQL server documents state that if
the password is lost , then a SQL re-installation will have to be done.
Is anyone aware of a way to reset the password for SA without reinstalling the
SQL server.
Matter is most URGENT.
Regards
Vedanth

Hello,
I import a package into Integration Services (it containt 3 ole db connections to SQL Server), then I schedule this into a job.
When I run the job, it failed !
For the connections, I use a sql user and, in the step that run package, I notice that the password isn't store
I add password in the connection string ("Password=password;") and when I rerun the job, it terminate with success.
My question is: Is it possible to store the password directly into the package and so avoid password encoding several times ?
Regards

Hi everyone, I am trying to upgrade a 2000 DB to 2005 with SSIS Database Transfer.
I finally got it to work with an online transfer but the destination database has no primary keys, indexes or identity columns from the source DB.
What am I missing?
What other ways are there to upgrade a SS2000 DB to 2005?
Thank you.

I just started a new job and no one seems to know the SA password.Here's my plan to change it:1. I've run a trace for a couple of days to verify that there are nojobs or processes that are connecting as SA and that would break if Ichanged the password.2. Before the changing the password I am going to bulk copy out thesysxlogins row for SA so that if things go wrong I can reinset the olddata with the old unknown password (will that work?).3. Log on to the console as Windows administrator and changing the SApassword.Does that make sense? Anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks.

Hi to all!.
I tell you my problem...
I have an DB2 source and SQL destination. I have 2 ConnectionManager. One for DB2 (IBM DB2) and other for SQL. Both are of the OleDB type.
Well. I setup my connections and it work fine. Now i want to change my ConnectionManager for others sources or destinations. And I don't want to have to change the connection in more than forty packages.
For this, i have 2 XML configuration file in package configurations. One for connection. In this XML i have the connectionstring, user and password. These files are obtained in all the packages.
Well. If i change the connectionstring in this XML file configuration, only work fine the OLEDB for SQL. The conection for DB2 return the fail: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "_packagename_" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I have proven to modify protectionLevel of the package to DontSaveSensitive. SQL work fine. DB2 fails. I have changed to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. The same.
Why the packages obtain the data of connection of the configuration file for SQL and it does not work or with the configuration file for DB2.
This is bug?
Thanks to all!.

I am using the Management Sudio Express and after I changed my domain password, I lost all of my SQL Server registrations.
I remember this was an old problem with SQL 2000 until a SP fixed it.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
I have restored a SQL 2000 DB in a SQL 2005 server. The views which were converting a varchar to string was working fine in 2000 and in 2005 the views are giving a "error converting varchar to datetime" error.
Any ideas to rectify this issue?

I have a db in SQL server 2000 developer edition. I am using Visual Studio 2005 standard, and also VWD Express. I would like to just access the database that is in SQL server 2000 so I can get on with developing the site, but VS2005 refuses to recognize the instance. It recognizes 2005 instances right away.The services are all running, the network protocols are enabled, uid's/pw all of that is correct. I am getting the "named pipes" error (the named pipes protocol is enabled).Any suggestions? I'd really rather just work with the db as-is in SQL 2000. But I can't get it to connect. I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db. So my web app is not finding the stored procs and won't run.Do I need to uninstall SQL 2005 from this box if I want to use SQL 2000?Thanks,--Donnie

I recently needed to upgrade a sql 2000 machine to 2005. Instead ofupgrading the sql 2000 default instance, I installed sql 2005 as aseparate named instance so we could go back to sql 2000 if necessary.The web server that connected to the new server didn't have anythingchange on it except the database ip was changed tomachinenameinstancename instead of just machinename. SQLauthentication was being used and the exact same userid/password wascreated on sql 2005. I logged into the database server using the sameuserid/pass to confirm it worked.However, when using the app, it reported "Login failure for: username"error and I confirmed 600 times over the next two hours that it was infact correctly typed in. The "State" in the sql server log indicated apassword mismatch, but again, it was correct and I verified it workedusing the sql 2005 management studio from the web server itself.Finally I had the bright idea of making the password blank, figuring itwas getting mangled somewhere in the process...That worked. So my question is, what is going on and how can I set anormal password? There is no encryption of the connection string andnothing changed in the web app between converting the machine from 2000(worked fine) to 2005 (password mismatch).

After designing a SSIS package in Visual Studio 2005 that had two connection manager defined to keep the password. After I deployed the package to a file system. I then Imported the .dtsx file after making a Integration Services connection in Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried to run the package it failed when it tried to make the connection. When I edited the connection manager connection string and added the password and the package ran fine but it does not retain the password!. I need to have this package scheduled to run daily so I need to know how to have the package keep the password in the connection string. I have seen other posts on this issue but not seen a good solution. Could someone point me to the proper MSDN article that would explain how to implement this ? Is it a SQL Server configuration issue or a property in Visual Studio SSIS design time ?
thanks.

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.
Any ideas as to a root cause?

Hi,
I am having following problem in our SQL Server 2000 database €“
Somehow/body accidentally backup (complete) our database back to an old back up from 17th March 2008. So the data from 17th March to 20th May is lost.
And that was the most recent backup that we had for the database because Maintenance Plan was not working from the last march due to some kind of failure and nobody knows about it. L
Using Redgate€™s Log Rescue and Apex Log Rescue tool but we could not find any entry from 17th March to 20th May. Most probably because of the complete back up.
Can any one help me out in this situation? Is there any way possible to retrieve the data? It€™s really important for me.
Thanks in advance. I will be looking forward to you guys reply.

Hello
I am creating a TABLE
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TbTest](
[id_TbTest] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ,
[Title] [varchar](100) NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
when looking at the Column Properties in MS Server Management Studio I get :
Identity Specification = Yes
(Is Identity) = Yes
Increment = 1
Seed = 1
now if I want to make a copy of that database, importing datas and tables
I get :
Identity Specification = No
(Is Identity) = No
How can I avoid this problem ? my application is not working anymore
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[TbTest] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_TbTest] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[id_TbTest]
) ON [PRIMARY]
is not solving that problem
thank you

I need help!
I have Outlook 2007 w/BCM running on XP Pro workstation connecting to a SBS 2003 R2 hosting my SQL 2005 database. I have two problems: First I can get the BCM to connect to the remote data but periodically the connection is lost and many times it requires a reboot to reconnect. Secondly related to teh first, I can never get MS Accounting 2007 to connect to the same server and database from my client.
I have already set up the server to use port 5356 via TCP amd added a hole through my client windows firewall for the same port. Both client and server are set to share files and printers.
Any suggestions?

I converted a program from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 all went well. I created a number of tables and stored procedures after the conversion. I backed up my .mdf and .idf files. I was having problems with SQL so I uninstalled and re-installed it. Once I re-installed it I could no longer display some tables and files. Since I am the dbo, I think I should be able to access them. There obviously is something I am missing, hopefully not the tables and sps.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

Hi there,
I just upgraded from SQL2000 to 2005 and noticed that any DB engines you register do not get re-registerd when you restart the Management Studio, you have to reconnect every time you start Management Studio! SQL2000 used to keep your server connections.
Am i missing something or is this just how it works now!?
Thanks
Ben

OS: Windows XP Pro, SP2
SQL: SQL Server 2005 (Server 9.0.2047) SP1
VS: Visual Studio 2005 RTM.050727-4200
--------
After upgrading our SQL Servers to SP1 we have lost the ability to debug .net CLR stored procedures. The debugging process worked fine until we installed the Service Pack. All other features we use test out fine after the upgrade. The only and very important feature that does not work is debugging CLR procs. In fact this problem is happening in every environment we have. Be it SQL2005 running on Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Window Server 2000 SP4. SQL Server remote or local on the machine doing the debugging. All 5 developer workstations with Visual Studio in virtual machines or installed on in base OS are behaving exactly the same. Every developer on our team has the exact same problem regardless of their configuration after the upgrade to the service pack 1. All developers and environments were working correctly before the upgrade.
Even building a new SQL box from scratch and installing all tools and creating a new clean database we fail with same error.
We have verified CLR Debugging is enabled for the database connection. We have dropped the connection and recreated it.
Here is an example of the output from the output window:
This is the output up to the CLR call

I am in the process of converting sql 2000 DTS Package into SSIS.
After doing "Migrate DTS 2000 Package" I got all the old package loaded into SSIS packages.
1. Do I need manually twisted each package again? or it is ready already?
2. One of the package is doing only simple thing. Open a flat file and load it into the table.
This is what on the Control Flow after the auto conversion:
I found in the Control Flow tab, there is no "Data Flow Task", there is only "Execute DTS 2000 Package Task". There is nothing under "Data Flow" tab.
Would that mean I can execute DTS package which is created under SQL Server 2000 without have to do thing?
Thanks.

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?
