I have a local instance of SQL 2012 express,
Somehow my admin privileges have been lost, and the sa password is not Password123.
Is there anyway to reset this password without re-installing SQL server.
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

Our company website runs off of Microsoft SQL Server. Someone tried changing the 'administrative' password but the way that they did it locks us out of the database.
Under Enterprise Manager there is a Security group, underneath here is a login. The person reset the password here on the login id that is the DBO for our website's database. Underneath the database in Enterprise Manager the dbo uses this login id. Where else does the password need to get reset in order for that login id to access the database? We cannot set it back to the previous password because it is unknown.
When we go to our website we get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect

Hello,I hope you guys can help me with a problem that I am facing...I have started the MSSqlServer service and SQLServerAgent serviceswith a domain username and password.There are periodic password resets to this user. Security policieswithin the company dictate that the password for this domain accountcannot be permenant.Would there be any way to automatically reset the pwd in theseservices instead of manually changing them each time?Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have come up with an issue where I want to update data in a table using bulk/SET update to get the result shown in below code with output in column titled "Arrear Amt".
Please use this test data.
CREATE TABLE ##vOD_Calc
(
Seq_No INT ,
Contract_id INT ,
Rental_id INT ,
Actual_OD INT ,
Logic_OD INT ,
Due_dte DATETIME ,
[Code] .....
Logic required is that once the sum of column [ArrearAmt] of current row and all previous rows becomes greater than $100 then column [ChArrrearAmt] should show that summed up value and in else case the column [ChArrrearAmt] should show the same value as that of column [ArrearAmt].
Once the column [ChArrrearAmt] reaches the threshold of $100 then the same cycle should start again i.e. in above example rental#1 had $37.17 < $100 then rental#1 + rental#2 is also < $100 and at rental#3 sum of rental#1, rental#2 and rental#3 becomes $111.51 which is greater than $100 so its updated in column [CHArrrearAmt]. The same cycle start overs from rental#4 onwards however the summation of [ArrearAmt] will now begin after rental#4 onwards and not from the starting.
Below is the loop based SQL script which handles the above situation, however in BULK its a total deterioration of performance if thousands of rows are to be processed i.e. with a contract having multiple rentals.
The case here is that I have to use the result of previously updated column value of [ChArrrearAmt] to take decision for the next row, however with BULK update since the row is not yet updated with latest amount therefore the decision on next row is also giving wrong result.
This is the code with which I have achieved to update the column 'chArrear Amount', however its a loop based solution and performance killer.
INSERT INTO ##vOD_Calc_loop
( Rows_count ,
contract_id
)
SELECT COUNT(*) ,
T.Contract_id
FROM ##vOD_Calc T
GROUP BY T.Contract_id
[Code] ....
What issues will I encounter if I change the MSSQLSERVER password?

I just installed VS.NET 2005 on my computer and along the way SQL Server Express edition got installed too. What is the default sa password right out of the box? I actually want to use Windows authentication but was not able to set my domain account in there w/ administrative rights. I'd appreciate some help here.
Thanks,

Somehow all of my sequences got reset to 1. The only thing that occured was the database was renamed.
SQL Server 2014
Is this a bug ?
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).
If 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

I have a reporting server that needs to be utilized now but the person that set it up is no longer with the company.
We have no idea what login he used to install the server and nobody was granted admin rights to the server.

I am using SQL server 7, all service packs. We recently changed the NT Administrator password because of staffing changes. After doing so, I have 2 scheduled DTS job that are failing with an "unspecified error" -2147008507 (80074005). All other scheduled DTS packages succeed (about 20 other jobs including 1 DTS).
I have not found this error documented. I am assuming this has to do with the password change, but I have not been able to resolve it. The DTS packages run fine by hand (manually). I recreated the scheduled jobs several different ways but they still fail.
Any information on this is most appreciated! Thank-you!!

I installed SQL Server Express and uninstalled it through the control panel add/remove programs. When I try to reinstall is I get an error message that says it is already installed. I'm having the same problem with the toolkit. I saw a post describing a similar problem and tried reinstalling it through the Add Programs button but got the same result. The only SQL programs I see in Add/Remove Programs are MSFT SQL Server Native Client and MSFT SQL Server Setup Support Files (English). I tried to get to the change button on the former but it just removed the entry. How can I tidy things up so I can reinstall it? I'm running XP second edition.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've got a weird problem that started today on our SQL server at work. Apparently the transaction logs filled up for one DB, and SQL server decided to create 230 gb of errors on the subject, filling my D: drive. Well, I had no problem deleting the error logs and truncating the transaction logs, but my Enterprise Manager MMC will no longer function.
Search results turned up a fix that worked for most people, but not for me. So I'm pretty sure I've got no choice but to reinstall over-the-top. But, will this cause any loss of existing databases (obviously back them up first), users/security, and scheduled tasks (db backups, etc)?
I'd like to do minimal damage to this thing because there are several DB's set up from before my time, and I don't have time to manage this thing completely (as you might have guessed, no one really manages things here). Any help is appreciated.
Need script for below.
1)Add the user ''ADabc' to local admin group in server.
2)Create login 'ADabc' and Grant sysadmin access for ADabc
I was having some trouble with the DTS Wizard and so I thought I'd just reinstall the whole MSSM. I used remove programs, rebooted my Vista computer and am trying to reinstall the Server Express Toolkit. It tells me that MSSM already exists on my computer (which it doesn't).
The actual screen reads:
Existing components
The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine.
Grayed out -- Workstation components and development tools 9.2.3042.00
How do I reinstall MSSM now? It's gone from my computer.
Thanks!
I have SSIS 2012 Enterprise, using catalog deployment and have more that 50 environment variables for connection to databases across my enterprise.
The problem when i go to configure the packages after deployment and pick the proper env variables, that are not sorted, so i have to browse all entries in order to find the proper entry in environment variables.
After publishing report on server and accessing it from URL its prompting for the USER ID and pAssword of Admin user of the server. Have tried to find the Virtual Directory of the Reporting server on IIS - which is not available. or unable to find the same. Apart from this have saved the Database credential in the report itself.Â

I have another question : 1) Restoring SQL Server Databases after uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server.
Two days ago there was some problem with Norton Antivirus, so Windows 98 restored itself to a previous state. The SQL Server name was not available when I tried to start again, so I had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server. I started a new Database just a week before this happened (the change from Access to SQL Server as I stated in the other thread http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=987880) and after reinstallation I could not access the Database any more - even while it is in the Data directory. I did not have any backup to restore from - I just started creating tables, so there was only the Log file created and the MDF database file. I tried to import it for a while to the new server, but as the database is not shown in the new server, it was unable to import like I hoped. So how do you restore it back to SQL Server when you have no backup and only the (undamaged) MDF database file if you only have one server? I had to recreate the Database from scratch again - I don't want it to happen again.
Regards
Corné
