We are experiencing authentication/ Kerberos issues after a password for the MSA's has changed. We use MSA for our SQL 2012 and windows 2012 combination Servers. This errors creates issues while backing up and Service Broker connectivity.We had to restart sql services to fix it, but this not seem to be a resolution for me because the next time the password changes on these MSA's we may have to restart sql services.There seems to be a known issue for windows 2008 R2 servers and fix is available and we incorporated it. But the issue we are facing is on windows 2012 Server.
This morning I attempted to connect to my local copy of SQL Server (2012) (Win 7) using Windows Authentication. I was unable to do so and per the error log it was due to error 18456 (invalid credentials).
Yesterday I changed my windows password. Is it possible for this to be the cause?
FYI, following is from the error logs:

This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
The logs showed the error occurred yesterday (4/28) which is about when I changed my password. The 17:09 log (last one) is when I shut down my computer. Note that I was logged into SQL Server when I changed my Windows password and worked with it several times through out the day.
Also, per the configuration manager SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) (and all other services) is stopped and I was unable to start it ("The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion).
We need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or (2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.
Hi, I am trying to create a new login with a password. I go to Microsoft sql server management. Right-click on security and create a new login with a custom login and password.I use sql authentication. Now after creation if I check the property of the login, the password is the of same length as 'sa'. The problem is I dont know 'sa' password even. (I use windows authentication to connect to the server.) I need a proper uid and pwd for my .Net application access. Please help Thanks Rashmi
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database engine on a local network server. When I am presented with the Connect to Server dialog box, if I select Windows Authentication from the Authentication drop-down, the User name & Password area is grayed out and unusable. The domain user account I'm authenticated with is visible, but grayed out, and the password field is blank and unusable. I'd like to be able to connect as described in help:
User name
Enter the user name to connect with. This option is only available if you have selected to connect using Windows Authentication.
I can connect with either SQL Server or Windows authentication... but with Windows Authentication I'd love to be able to type a specific user name to select with :-)
I have a web app, designed using VWD Express and using SQL 2005 Express. It has a mdf database called "client". It was created using security of windows authentication. I have already changed my instance of sql server express to accept mixed windows and sql authentication. How do I change my "client" database's permissions to the sql authentication? I need to add a user name and password as a requirement for my web host to be able to attach the mdf to their instance of sql 2005. It has to be the same user and password as I use with my web host's sql server 2005. Thank you in advance.

Change the Authentication Mode of the SQL server from "Windows Authentication Mode (Windows Authentication)" to "Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication)".
Hello- I recently inherited a SQL 2005 Standard database that I am being asked to change the Server authentication mode for. SQL system is managing a local database for Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003. Currently the system is running in SQL Server & Windows authentication mode. I am going to change it to Windows Authentication mode. Can someone point me to a checklist I could refer to before I make the change to be sure I don't take down my database?
Hi,Does anyone here know whether it is possible to change theauthentication method of a SQL server instance programmatically, ratherthan going through enterprise manager.I am using SQL-DMO (under C#) for some other things, but thedocumentation is so bad that I can't find out whether what I want to docan be done. I have also tried googling but came up empty handed.I hope that someone can help me.CheersJono
Hello, I have several SQL 2000 logins on our servers. I removed the builtin/ groups and only have SQL authentication users, although the server is operating in "Mixed Mode". How can I secure this? I don't understand how we can just connect to any DB without ever being asked to log in. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.
I installed SQL Server 2005 using Windows Authentication Mode (Windows Authentication)"
How can I change the Authentication Mode of the SQL server from "Windows Authentication Mode (Windows Authentication)" to "Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication)"?
I have one server out of 6 that lets me logon as SA with the default password of null. If I run this command to change the password I get password changed, but it did not change it, I still can logon as SA with the NULL password.
The old administrator left and I am learning slowly. Since his password was changed, SQL cannot start. I get an error 1069 login failed. Maybe you have a good idead I haven't thought of?
I've searched this forum and was surprised to not find this asked before - Is there any way to change SA's password (we have managed to lose it somehow)? And we do have physical access to our SQL Server of course...if that helps.
Dear experts, i'm getting problem with sql server 2000. actually i changed the service from automatic to manual, right from that day,sql server is not working on my machine.when i checkd in the properties of sql server registration, it is showing some around 8 letter password. actually i will connect with sa and password sa.

I am newbie at SQL server, we have sql 7.0, sql2000 and sql2005. we need to change SA password but developers claim they have hardcode the SA password.
anyone can tell me where developers hardcode this SA password? what are the files i need to look up? if they hardcode it, impossible to change?
I have a SQL JOB that I inherited that uses FTP to xmit some data. When I attempt to change the password within the FTP job a window warns me that files will be deleted. My question is are these files just sytem buffers or will any important files get the axe ? Thx in advance. Lou
I have my SQL 7.0 server set for Mixed security. I see now (finally)the advantages of having windows authentication security for windowsgroups.I do most of my developing in Access Projects which require a login ofsome type. I have been using my SQL login to develop with SQL andthen when I give it to the user, I set the project to use Windowsauthentication. I want to be able to have Windows authentication onmy domain account but the user name for my windows account is the sameas my SQL account and it won't let me change the existing account.Now what happens is after I develop the product I have to have theuser login and go in and change to windows authentication. It won'tlet me do it with my sql account.I fear that if I delete my sql account and create a windowsauthentication account all the views, sps, etc. that I have createdwill still have the reference to the sql login and therefore not work.Do I need to have a generic sql account for developing? One thought Ihad was to create a new domain account so I can create that windowslogin and at least get my most recent projects working like I want to?Hope this makes sense to someone.Thanks in advance for your time.Sherry
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?
When using osql from a command prompt the following script was run: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', '', 'TestLogin'
We were trying to set a password for a login to blank, but now cannot access login into the application because the application was looking a blank password for this user but the password would not work for blank.
Note ---This client only has MSDE installed, not SQL Enterprise.
If the script is run from Query Analyzer it works fine.
The script should have been this: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', Null, 'TestLogin'
It should have explictly stated NULL for the new password but it wasn't done.
Is there anyway to reset the password without knowing the existing password. No other logins exist. They tried logging into the system with no password, '',"". I am not sure what the password was set to.
Howdy - I am using SQL 7.0. I have done some research using the Books On Line and I do not find any documentation on how to change the sa password using a SQL Script. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
