I have a MSDE database running with my sharepoint portal and now i want to customize the portal with some pages built in webmatrix, but i am getting a huge problem. i just don't know what he MSDE password is. how may i find it out, change it or even break it?
View 3 RepliesHi,
I have installed MSDE using the following parameter:
commandline> setup SAPWD="MySAPwd"
now all was set up... when i opened the osql utility..i wasnt able to login... it kept asking me the login name ans password...
i entered my windows login name which is 'home' and entered 'kham00s' as the password... it didnt work... then i entered my windows login name again which is 'home' and entered 'OTHERPASSWORD' as the password which is my system password...but did not work either...
then i logged in using :
commandline> osql -E
It successfully logged in... and i was able to create databases and tables...
can someone tell me how to set a username and password for MSDE please... so that i can connect to MSDE using WebMatrix...
i m coming from a PHP/MySQL background so i know SQL and stuff... but dont know how to handle and configure MSSQL...
waiting for the response..
thanks in advance...
Bye.
Kamran.
While installing the MSDE I get the folowing error:
A storng SA password is required forsecurity reasons.
Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same.
Refer to readme for more details.
Setup will now exit.
Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hi Guys,
I am Access user of both BE and FE. I would like to set my BE with SQL
Therefore, as trial I just downloaded MSDE2000A.Exe a Desktop SQL Engine from Microsoft. I need to install it. But due to some technical aspect (which I might not understand) I could not install it. Bcz whenever I am trying to install its setup file, it ask me a strong password. How to set it ? or how to supply it I dont know...
Any help.
Regards,

Itis running on Windows 2000 professional.Any help would be greatlyappreciated.Regards,Eddie
View 2 Replies View RelatedNumerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
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?
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
The sa password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements. For strong password guidelines, see Authentication Mode, in SQL Server Books Online.

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brian
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the
same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that
the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed
from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
regards,
Manfred
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r
-c'
This works but I don't get the headers in the file. How can I include the headers?
I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
I am building a website in Dreamweaver. I have tried and tried to get a connection to SQL 2005. Everything works on the web except the stuff that requires the use of my SQL tables. With OPEN_Conn ="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=master" I get an error at the bottom of my page saying this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Invalid authorization specification
When I add a password and ID to the string the pages become very slow and I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Using windows authentication when logging into SQL Server doesn't have a user id or password so maybe I just don't know what to put there. I have tried a mix of all the passwords and ID's I use on this computer. Do I even have to have the user ID and password and if not how do I fix the first error? All help appreciated.
Hi All.

Hello ,
Is is correct that the 'sa ' passoword is stored in one of the files of the SQL Server and is easily readable if the location of the file is known ?
If not , then is the password encrypted when i try to connect to the SQL server on the Internet ?
Thanks.

I am designing a DTS package which i need to update every so often to change the name of the source file(it's a text import). Every time that i change this, then click save, the DTS job begins to fail, with password errors. I put the password back in correctly( i still don't know why it gets lost in the first place), and click save - same result. this is getting tremendously frustrating, so i really appreciate any answers.

Hi!
When I try to set password for any login begining from 'sa' using Enterpr. Manager or sp_password I get error message:
'Server: Msg 552, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_password, Line 63

What does it mean?

Is there anyway to "get in the backdoor" if you have installed SQLserver and assigned sa a password (no other users are set up with admin rights) and then forget what the password is.
In the online doc it says you have to reinstall SQL server....isn't there any other way to get in??? For instance in SYBASE you can log on to the console and "go thru the backdoor" and issue a command from there.
Please advise.
