A former Network Manager setup the Sql Server Services NT Domain account. I need the password to set it up on our MS Exchange server, should I change the password or create a new domain account.
How can I find out if there is no other applications using the service account in our domain, since the new Network manager doesn't know the password.
What happens if I change the password.
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
Ugh! Someone changed the password of our SQL Server service account. It is called syssql, and it is used by the MSSQLServer and SQL Executive services to log in at startup. After the password was changed, we noticed that replication wasn’t running, and since I know that replication uses the Executive service, I restarted that service using the new password. That worked to get replication working again, and since the boxes were production machines I didn’t restart the MSSQLServer service with the new password yet. Now, our syssql account keeps on locking up every so often, and scheduled tasks that use xp_sendmail stopped working, and alerts stopped sending. Is this happening because of the MSSQLServer service still being logged in with the old password? I suspect that the SQL Mail logs in through the MSSQLServer service, which is still using the old password, and the login failures are causing the syssql account to lock. Any other ideas???

HI,
I m swagatika and working on a s/w company.I am facing some problem in MS SqlServer2005.
my problem is:-
i installed sql server2005 completely .At the install time , i set the username='xyz' and password=blank (windows authentication mode).
Now i want to change my user account to 'sa' and password to blank.
After installation,how to change the user account and password.
Please can anybody help me ?
I can get to the DB and find the user account, but I see nowhere to change the password? My app requires a password that meets Windows Security requirements and the one that was initially created is not long enough.....

We may need to change the account presently used to run the Windows Service "SQL Server Integration Services".What are the implications of making such a change?

What issues will I encounter if I change the MSSQLSERVER password?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm using the SQL Server Everywhere CTP on the desktop and haven't used SQL Server Mobile in the past.
I'm having some difficulty determining whether it's possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password. Obviously authentication on a file-based SQL Server Everywhere database differs from that of server-based SQL Server database. Is it possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password?
That said, I feel like I've made a decent search of the to change a SQL Server Everywhere books online. If it's not possible to change the password in place (i.e., without copying all data to a new file with a different password), please count this as a vote to add that functionality. Making a database password "permanent" lessens its effectiveness. Thanks,
Curt
Please Help!!
We have an application using SQLOLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. Per domain policy, the users are required to change their password every 60 days.
The accounts are established to 'Enforce password policy'.
When we try to execute the 'ALTER LOGIN' command to change the password, locks are being established and will not free the account without bouncing the instance.
After issuing the command, any interaction with the server using this UserID results in a "lock request time out" error 1222.
I have tried issuing this command using both the application and through SQLServer Mgmt Studio Express and the results are the same.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Well, I inherited a SQL Server ....sob story.........installer won`t call back.....sob story.....buying books like mad......sob story. Geez, this was a *great* job when I interviewed.....
Regardless, I do not know the password for the sa account on a SQL 6.5 server running on NT4SP3. We are using standard securtiy. Do I have any options?
Hopefully, the technical discussion doesn`t reference rubber garden watering implements. :{)

HI!I have a little problem:I have change the administrator password (Windows 2003 Server) which MSSQL 2000 use to login.And now the SQL server can't stand up.What should I do?thx!gicio--Posted via http://dbforums.com
View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
Folks,
MSSQLServer and SQL Server Agent services under NT are running under a system account under our domain (setup many moons ago) for which we have lost the passsword. Is there any way we can recover these passwords?
Thanks.

Hai,
While installing SQL Server 2000 on my Windows 2000 Advanced Server, i choose Windows Authentication mode, so i was not able to enter a password for sa account. And after installation, in Enterprise Manager i could still see sa account under logins but the account has a password.
So my question is what is the default password for sa account when we choose Windows Authentication mode and is it possible to change the mode from windows Authentication to Mixed Authentication mode after installation, with out re-installaing SQL Server 2000.
Thank you in advance
With regards

I am trying to adapt a vb6 application to support sqls 2005 features. I am using SQL Server Authentication and want to support the feature which forces the user to change his password on the next login. Using an SQLOLEDB connection string, on trying to log I get an error saying that the password must be changed - fair enough - but how can I do this? I would have expected to be able to supply both old and new passwords in the connection string, but there does not seem to be any such feature. Am I missing something obvious?
Couldn't able to login with sa account, seems someone having admin account have changed this sa password.Is there any way to determine who and when have changed this password.It is known that SQL can't log this information in its log, is there any other ways.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
We have changed NT Administration Password. Now how to reassign the new password setting for sql server service account. As right now all schedule jobs are getting failed & needs to be executed manually.

We are running SQL Server 2000 on two servers and when they were built, the same domain account was used for all installations, and the MSSQLSERVER and SQLServerAgent services run logged in as that same account. That account is also the dbo of all the SQL databases. We now need to change the password and possibly disable that domain account.
What do we need to do to make sure the SQL Servers and databases continue to run without problems after making the password change and/or disabling the account?
I appreciate any advice!
Wjen sql 2005 is installed a Service Master key is generated using the password of the account under which sql 2005 server runs.
Suppose I use a domain account to run sql server. The account password will change every so often. I presume this change will not impact the validity of the existing Service master key and therefore any data indirectly encrypted by it. Am I correct?

Hi
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. When I try changing the account name, password in the SQL Server Configuration Manager, i.e. by clicking on Apply, the SQLEXPRESS restarts and the password gets replaced by a longer password. Also the user name gets prefixed with "./". Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Another query: Do we have the query analyser (gui or command line) kind of thing in Express Edition? Also where can I get a proper documentation of doing elementary things in setting up a database, like creating a database, adding a user, etc)
Thanks and Regards

As the title suggests we are looking to change the service account of a SQL mirror implementation. I will be using the same account on all 3 servers involved in the configuration.
I know each server requires the account of the other two adding but as this will be the same account I assume this doesn't apply?
Also for mirrored databases already set up would I need to reconfigure the security for each one?
Is there anything I am missing?
I have a SQL 2k5 ent. 64 bit on Windows 2003 Ent x64 edition.
The sql server was running fine under localsystem account. Recently I changed the service account to a local user (part of users group in windows) and implemented permissions according to KB article 283811. (have imlpemented the same on many other sql servers without issue).
However, the SQL services are not starting up and I am seeing the following errors in the errorlog.
