SQL 2012 :: Cannot Log In As SA After Password Update
Sep 3, 2015
I log in as myself using Windows authentication, and I'm in the sysadmin role, and this is within a dev instance running on my PC. I execute:
USE [master]
GO
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD=N'newpassword'
GO
It's runs without error, but when I try to login with the 'sa' account to the same database using SQL Server authentication within SSMS, I get the following error: Login failed for user 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
I can print out the error stack if you think it adds something, but I'm guessing that there's something happening here that's obvious to a SQL Server DBA admin.
What i trying to do here is i wanna to update the old password with new password after the user have key in the old and new password and click the confirm button. But the problem is now i want to get the value from a label to set the WHERE condition, for example "UPDATE admin_info SET adPass = @adPass WHERE resName = 'labelA.text'" and the password doesn't get updated. how can i get the value from a label and set to the WHERE condition? Can someone help me out with this? Thanks
We are in the process of deploying security software that will change AD service accounts automatically every 90 days. I was wondering if changing the password on accounts used for SSRS certificates will break the certs? Are there any other gotchas we should be concerned about with automated password changes in SQL?
3rd party company set up SQL 2008 R2 SP1(awhile ago, years), they disabled SA no other logon was created with Admin rights, Database is Mixed Mode, never had a DBA. the database is from a Transactional system. Now comes me. I need to set up backups, maintenance etc..
I have been provided System AdminLocal Admin rights on the Server. The Server has been set up like a Domain Controller. I have tried all of the command line options that I know and I can find. I have not been able to get any to work, they all fail login to SQL. Before I take the route of reinstalling SQL on the server I want to make sure I haven't missed any thing, especially since this is a 100% production environment with 3rd party processes and applications attached that are not documented or supported. (nightmare)
I would prefer a cmdline or PowerShell script (ps2).I figure that the holiday is coming up so whatever I will end up needing to do I will be able to complete over the holiday weekend when it is down.
One set I tried as "run as Admin" SQLServr.Exe –m SQLCMD –S <Server_NameInstance_Name> CREATE LOGIN ‘<Login_Name>’ with PASSWORD=’<Password>’ GO SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER '<Login_Name>','SYSADMIN'
I should point out the rest of our environments are SQL 2012
I would like to perform an audit of weak passwords, which is well documented for sql users. Using the same methodology, I should be able to audit weak passwords for contained users. To accomplish this, I must be able to find the location of the password hashes for the contained users.
I have looked at sys.syslogins and sys.sql_logins, which both have the password hash for server level users, but not contained users. I was able to find sys.sysusers, which does contain contained users, but no password hash.
What is the location of the password hashes for contained users?
I have a table of users including: UserName, Password (comuted col), FirstName, LastName, Address and other details....
I have to keep 10 Recent passwords , so I created another table "ut_Password " (Table2)
This table contains the following columns : Username, Password , and Password_Date.
I searched a lot but could not find something similar in my opinion need SP for it.
- 10 row Max for Password History in table 2 - when user change password it's need to be uniqe and it should not appear last 10 passwords - Each user can have a maximum of 10 lines containing history password table - Most old password deleted and replaced with a new password will enter the correct date (FIFO method first in first out).
I need to give the below script which contains CREATE CREDENTIAL query to an app team.
CREATE CREDENTIAL crdntl WITH IDENTITY = '<service_acct>', SECRET = '<pwd>' GO
My concern is i don't want the password to be visible. Basically i want to use this credential to create a proxy which is then used to run SQL Agent backupjob on number of SQL servers. Also, i cannot leave the SECRET value as blank (as the MSDN suggests.)
Is there any way to mask the password OR any other alternative solution.
I regularly (every month or so) get the error "The target principle name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context" when trying to remotely connect to my SQL 2012 instance. The SQL service is running using a managed service account. I understand this error can occur when the service account cannot authenticate with AD properly. Looking at the properties of the managed service account, the password for the account was automatically changed this morning - just when the error started.
Where is located the hash password for the contained database users?I have a script that prints all creating statement so that a Dev environment security can be reapply after a prod data refresh but I can't find the table containing the hash password when the user is "with login" for contained database.
In my project source is Oracle and I am using ODBC to connect oracle for lading.I have create 2 project parameter for connection string one for connection and another for password..when I am making expression on ODBC connection it is showing error like below I can't establish a connection because our legacy driver doesn't support 'Password' as a connection string attribute.
when I am passing expression like @[$Package::V_Constring]+ "PWD=faster1" on odbc connection it working fine.
When I use just the ConnectionString property on the ODBC connection manager and use a 'pwd' attribute; all is well. E.g., "uid=<user>;pwd=<password>;Dsn=<dsn name>;". But as soon as I flip the sensitive attribute, I'm getting the classic error:
The expression will not be evaluated because it contains sensitive parameter variable..The sensitive parameter is desired, of course. I don't want the password in the clear.
i have installed windows 2008 evaluation, during installation i was not asked for username and pssword but when i try and start up its asking for administrator password.
I run the following statement and it will not update beyond 7 million plus rows and I have about 38 million to complete. I keep checking updated row counts and after 1/2 day it's still the same so I know something is wrong because it was rolling through no problem when I initiated it. I need to complete ASAP so it's adding to my frustration. The 'Acct_Num_CH' field is an encrypted field (fyi).
SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0 BEGIN SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL END SET rowcount 0
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
I 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?
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.
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:

I am trying to install this database in a network server operating under Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please let me.
I need assigning a group of users read, write, update (not delete) permission on all user databases. is there any way to do so instead of creating role on each database separately.

FOR THE FOLLOWING CODE SEGMENT.. I am trying to do 2 updates with just one WITH BLOCk.Create table #temp( MPOG_CASE_ID uniqueidentifier, lab_name varchar(100), lab_date datetime, lab_value decimal(19,2) );

I have a temporary table #Temp with, among others, a column CountryCode and a column Lastname.I would like to change the ü that appears in some names to u (u umlaut to a plain u), but only for those that have the nationality 'Ned'
My code so far:
Update #Temp set LastName = replace(Lastname, 'ü', 'ue') WHERE CountryCode = 'Ned'
This code deletes all entries in the column Lastname
I think it must be easy, but I keep staring at the code.
I am trying to Write an update string for individual partID's. I wrote this query below but it isn't populating the time to test.

Should get UPDATE Parts SET = [TimeToTest] 0.5000 WHERE PartID = 48871 But getting Nulls instead

I am working on an existing infrastructure and i do not have liberty to change much right now. I am in a situation where app issues update statistics command quite often. So frequently that sometimes one blocks another. Is there any way i can do something like this
IF ( update_statistics going on) dont do anything else run update statistics
This is temporary solution untill i fix bad inline SQL code (in app) and use SPs.
I am using Ola Hallengrens scripts for index and stats maintenance but I am wondering what most people to in terms of the maintenance schedules. At present we do an index rebuild reorg weekly, but do people also do update stats nightly?
I suppose there is an element of "it depends" here in that the data may be fairly static so the update stats may not be required, or if heavily updated then perhaps rebuilding indexes may be required more frequently.
