Unlocking Login On Status Tab Always Gets Reset To Locked Out
Sep 8, 2006
I've been having this issue lately with a new login. We have set it up to use the Windows Password and Expiration Policy and I give it an initial strong password. In testing this new account I would purposely input the wrong password into an application 3 times thus causing the login to become locked out. I would then go into the SQL Management Studio, go to the Status Page and uncheck the 'Login is locked out' flag. If I would then click the 'OK' button to close the properties, I would get an error message that the password is not complex enough. This is strange since I never changed the password in the first place, I just unchecked the 'Login is locked out' flag. That's issue#1.
I then decided that I would give Management Studio the benfit of the doubt and also change the password to something complex again while still keeping the 'Login is locked out' flag unchecked. I then could click 'OK' and not get any errors. If I then go back INTO Management Studio and go to the Status Page, 'Login is locked out' would be checked again! That's issue #2
Does anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on here or what I am missing? I would think that I should be able to uncheck the locked out login and close without issue and have the end user login again with their old (existing) password.
Thanks in advance.

We are doing a consolodation whereby we are pulling 2 servers into one big one. We have a problem with duplicate logins and differing passwords. I want to be able to cursor (or tran?) through a list of logins resetting their passwords to a default.
This will currently run under SQL 2000, but I may want to do it on our 2K5 server at some time - I feel the second part may be more difficult though.
Does anyone have a script lying around in their armoury that will do this?
Thanks in advance

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

We are facing issue on one of our databases on Availability Group replica. FYI, please refer the below messages we are receiving. Moreover, the errors don't happen consistently for the specified user.
The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID 420, which had been reset for connection pooling. The failure ID is 46. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs for failed operations immediately before this error message.

We are using an Access 2002 front-end with SQL Server 2000 as the database.
There is a table (dbo_PrivateGroup) that if you try to open it in the table view, in a query, in a report, or through the application, you get the following Error message:
ODBC--connection to 'unlocking' failed.
Does anyone know what this means and how I am supposed to get around this?
I tried it on the actual server itself and I can read the table through Access, through the application when it is running, and through Enterprise Manager. This machine is logged in with "Administrator" as the user id.
The table is on a different database than the other tables in the application.
It is a user table. And I checked the permissions and all users have select, insert, and delete permissions allowed. However, when I go to look at the columns property, none are checked for any user and when I go to check the boxes for all columns, I hit Apply, then Close. When I go back into that screen for that given user, the columns weren't saved.
My database knowledge is creating tables, stored procedures, and triggers. They don't have a DBA here and my knowledge is limited. Is the problem in SQL Server or Access?
I don't know if any of this makes sense. But if it does, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
We have a scenario where we want to lock and unlock manually some rows in a table in SQL CE database .First the rows we need should be locked. By using a select query the locked rows will be read and processed in front end. Only if the process is completed in front end, manually I need to unlock rows which I have locked earlier. When rows are in locked state no body should be allowed to access that rows . ( should not allow anybody even to put a select query on that locked rows).
At the same time appending rows in the table should always be allowed.
Is it possible to achieve the above scenario?

How can I reactivate the login for this connection. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am writing in regard to this post: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=52798
Which I found while searching for a best-practice way to implement record locking in my application.
In the above referenced post the user asks “How can I tell if a row is locked?�, and the reason for asking is that the user wants to implement logic similar to this:
Select a row for editing.
If the row has been locked by a different user, display the information as read only.
Otherwise, lock the row and allow the user to edit (allow others to read).
My questions are exactly the same as the original poster of the above thread. I was surprised to see that the general response to the post was the user was taking a wrong approach and that sql server is unable to work as the user requested. I think the approach is both correct and desirable (I used it extensively as a foxpro programmer) and I would like further confirmation that sql server does not support it.
One of the things I don’t understand is the interaction between transactions and locks. Is it not possible to lock a row without initiating a transaction? Bottom line, my goal is this:
Select a row for editing.
If the row has been locked by a different user, display the information as read only.
Otherwise, lock the row and allow the user to edit (allow others to read).
However I get there is fine with me.

I am having an interesting problem that has got me completely baffled. I restored a database from the .bak file of another database on my server to use as a test DB for an App. upgrade before upgrading the live side. The problem I have run into is that the application will not allow login into the DB unless the Trusted Connection user has dbo privs. The DB is not set for dbo use only acoording to sp_dboption. It is not this way on the live side and tech support for the app. and I both think it has to strictly do with something in the SQL permissions. Any Ideas on what could have happened? Is the restored DB hanging onto something from the original DB that could be causing this? The connection works great on the live side on the older version, and I have seen it work in the newer version as well. Any takers?--Dallas

I just brought SQL Server 2005 up on Windows Server 2003 a few days ago. Everything was going great up until a few minutes ago. I tried to connect using the Management Console and get the message
Login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out. Your administrator can unlock it.
It's the administrator that's locked out!
Do I have to reinstall SQL Server all over again?

My 'sa' account is locked out and the BUILTINAdministrators account does not have the sysadmin role. I removed the sysadmin role from BUILTINAdministrators for security reasons and before I could create a new account with the sysadmin role I fat fingered the sa password and locked it out. How can I get myself out of this mess.
Any help would be welcomed.

HelloI have a stand alone Java application that uses SQL Server 2000 on thesame machine. Sometimes, when we run the applications and follow acertain steps, the SQL server locks some of the table. At that point oftime, if we try to query Select * on those table, in Query Analyzer, itjust keep spinning and doesn't return anything. That tells me that thetables are locked. If I close the application then it frees up theconnection and those tables are accessible again.My question is how do I find out how and what query/update causes thetables to be locked. Is there a tool (some kind of a profiler) that cantell me what was the last insert/update/delete quesry was run before itgot locked?Please help me.

I have been using SQL2000 for a number of years and the company I work for needs a new system so I decided to install SQL2005.
I installed SQL2005 without any problems and set a complex password for SA. I tried to log on and had to make several atempts as I remmebered the password after the SA account got locked out with the following message:
Login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out. The system administrator can unlock it. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18486).
The problem I have is I cannot log onto SQL at all as it is not logging on with windows authentication either!
How do I unlock the SA account or do I have to reinstall SQL?
Thanks

Hi all
First post - please be gentle :)
I have had a search of the forum and couldn't find a solution to this one.
On a clean install of SQL Server 2000 on a W2003 server we setup our database as normal, selected appropriate priveldges for everyone and all was well.
Until an adminsitraor accidently turned builtinadministors account to DENY access. We are now locked out of EM and I can't think of a way back in.
We can't access the database via the sa account as it is set to Windows Autentication, and we can't re-register the database for the same reason.
No other user has sufficent priveldges to update the master db or change authenticaion, or even log into EM for that matter.
I think we are snookered, but any thoughts are welcomed.
Cheers
K2

Hi All
New to sql server .
Have setup several pilot installations using merge replication between sql server mobile and sql server 2005. All has been perfect for over a week in all locations. last night one of the ocations stopped updating. Upon further investigation all devices kept throwing errors: "The database is currently synchronizing with the server". So I left for a further 2 hours with no change. The replication process usually takes abot 1 second and never take more than 3 or 4 seconds. There was no change to the data at all in this case either. I fixed the issue by restarting the whole server.
It would seem that there was some kind of lock on the database. Being new to sql server my question is:
Is there a way to properly diagnose the cause (I looked in the system event log and found nothing).
Is there a way to get notified if this occures again.
We are plannng hundreds of similar installations and cannot constantly monitor all of them in the hope of finding this issue again.
Regards
Nick

I am facing a problem in SQL SERVER 2005, 3 stored procedures seem to have a padlock on them and when i right click and the modify option is disabled.
I have tried logging in as SA and it seems to be the same problem, it is a database which someone else developed, but I need to modify it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Folks,
When I create a Database and try to copy the MDF file, I get a message to say that the Database is locked or in use by another user.
Seems like maybe I am not doing a 'Save' operation - although I can't find one ?
If I shut down the PC and restart it, then the MDF File is freed up, although when I try to open it, there is something wrong with it.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks a lot.
Barry
