HELP! Reset Dbo Login Id Password, Cannot Get Company Website Up

Mar 2, 2007

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


Please try the following:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.

SQL 2012 :: SA Password Reset Recovery

Jun 29, 2015

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

Does Anyone Have A Script To Reset SQL Login Passwords?

Apr 13, 2006

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

Asp Website Login With Sql?

Dec 25, 2007

I wanted to make a login for custom content on my asp website. I installed 2005 sql, gave it a named instance(sql34). I set the connections to local and remote for tcp only in the "surface area config", and made the tcp enabled in "sql manager". All of the sql services are started. So i open up the "server management studio" and it prompts me for a connection. I sellect "database engine" because thats what i installed. I typed the server's name in the "server name" and select sql server authentication for the "authentication", and use my username and password for the login.
Then I get a message cannot connect:
the default settings sql server does not allow remote connections(provider:named pipes provider,error:40-could not open a connections to sql server)(microsoft sql server, error:2)
What is the deal with this?

Another problem was i saw the sql express does not integrate with the real sql 2005. So how do i make mywebsite's web.config(express edition) to integrate for my real sql 2005 server?
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

How Can I Login To My MS SQL Server 2005 If I Forgot My Login Password

Oct 8, 2007



Hi,


I am using SQL Server 2005 at home.
My problem is I forgot my password to log in to my server.
I only remember user name is 'sa'.
I haven't used it for two to three months. So I forgot password.
Previously, When I used sql server 2000, my login is as windows login. so no problem.
But this time, I set seperate log in and I got this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

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.

Two Different Login Pages In One Project (website)

May 28, 2007

Hi everyone,,
 i have two different login pages in one project which are admin login and student login and they are secure by using the following function in each login page:-
 
Protected Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click
        lblMessage.Text = ""
        If CheckAdminLogin(txtUsername.Text, txtPass.Text) Then
            'If user is valid, then redirect back to original page
            ' and setup authentication cookie
            FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUsername.Text, False)
            'FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(txtUsername.Text, True)
            'Response.Redirect("~/AdminHome.aspx")
            'FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage(txtUsername.ResolveUrl = "AdminLogin.aspx")
        Else
            'If user is not valid, then display error
            lblMessage.Text = "Invalid Credentials. Please try again"
            lblMessage.Visible = True
        End If
    End Sub
    Function CheckAdminLogin(ByVal sUserName As String, ByVal sPassword As String) As Boolean
        'Declare variables
        Dim sSQL As String

        objDataCommand = New SqlCommand(sSQL, objConnection)
        'Execute query and return count (iTotal) of valid records
        iTotal = objDataCommand.ExecuteScalar()
        'If count is 1, then user is valid
        If iTotal = 1 Then
            Return True
        Else
            Return False
        End If
        objConnection.Close()
    End Function
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    Protected Sub txtUsername_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtUsername.TextChanged
        lblMessage.Text = String.Empty

Alter Login Fails When Login Changes His Own Password

Apr 11, 2008



I have seen alot of comments posted about an Issue in SQL2005 that no one at microsoft could really answer. If a user would try to alter his own login, it would fail stating a permissions error.

This is what I did to get it to work .

USE my_dataBase
GO

Alter Login [my_login] WITH PASSWORD = 'newpassword' OLD_PASSWORD = 'oldpassword'


In previous examples, people were trying to do an alter login without first narrowing it to the database.
If you do not include the USE statement it will fail.

Another thing to note is that they can only change certain things....they cannot turn off check_policy or check_expiration.

Happy Coding

SQL 2012 :: Reset For Connection Pooling VS Login Failed For User XXXX

SQL Login Control Works From Dev Environment But When I Deploy The Website It Errors

Mar 27, 2006

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
 
-This is the error that is being generated once the site is hosted. If I run my code from my machine and access my remote sql 2005 database it works fine. It is when I try to login from my URL directly that I get the error. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Can't Change Sql Login User's Password

Jan 13, 2006

SQL Server 2005 Express will not allow me to change the password for my login user. I tried deleting the user and re-creating the user. Another password is being put in although the password I put in was accepted. I even test to see what would happen if I left the password blank. It got accepted. But when I look at the password for my login user again, a different and much longer password was put in. I even tried this T-SQL statement:

CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<passwordname>', CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF

I am out of ideals. Is this a bug?

How Can You Force A Password, From A Sql Login, To Expire

Aug 31, 2006

How can you force a password, from a sql login, to expire?

I would like to use the password expiration feature for sql logins in SqlServer 2005. The msdn document provides example code for SqlClient SqlConnection.ChangePassword like in Bob Beauchemin's book. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.changepassword.aspx

There is a modify_date in the system view sys.sql_logins but that is read-only.



Thanks,

SQL Login Enforce Password Policy

Mar 20, 2007

I have a 3 node cluster running windows 2003 x64 sp1 and SQL Server 2005 version 9.00.2153. My problem is the following...

This Saturday I migrated a web application's database to this server. After restoring the database I created the sql login for the service account, set the password and disabled the password policy for this login. I then ran sp_change_users_login to attach the already existing db user with the same name to the login. I changed the connection string for the application, tested the application connectivity and functionality then detatched the old database on the old server. Everything went like clockwork, no problems at all.

Come Monday morning at 8:35 I started getting alerts that the web site was down. I tested the site and sure enough it was down. I then attempted to connect to the database server using the login that was created for the app and the connection failed. I logged in with my ID and got in fine. Nothing showing to be wrong with the DB, I checked the new login and somehow the "Enable Password Policy" had been set for the new login. I disabled it and still no connection. I went to the database and checked the DB user and somehow the link between it and the login no longer existed. I reran the sp_change_users_login and restested the web site and verified that that web site was back online.

My question is this, is there any stored proc that resets these values back to default for some reason, a series of events that might revert the "Enable Password Policiy" to the default for a login, or is there a particular domain level operation that might occur such as Security Polcies that would affect these settings in SQL?

No one else was on the machine when I went to check it out at 8:40 so it has left me puzzled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Zach

CREATE LOGIN *** WITH PASSWORD=0x*** HASHED

Oct 20, 2007

Hello,
Could anybody explain: is following supposed to work:



CREATE LOGIN test


WITH PASSWORD=0xF1E9E5CA9A79F7B5D883FA4D9680ED1D4D9AAB12 HASHED,

CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
GO

where

0xF1E9E5CA9A79F7B5D883FA4D9680ED1D4D9AAB12
result of

SELECT HASHBYTES ('SHA1','$Test123#')


execution of 'create login' results in following error

Msg 15021, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Invalid value given for parameter PASSWORD. Specify a valid parameter value.

Interesting enough is that if I use MD5 the hash is 8 bytes shorter and create login works but actual login procedure does not. And if I just use plain text password without HASHED everything works.

This is on sqlexpress 2005 sp2. Is this specific to express version?
I've noticed that realatively old SQL BO 2005 states that hashed password should be passed as literal in single quotations ' *** ' (and it does not work) and msdn online states that in case of HASHED hexadecimal value should be passed without single quotations, anyway does not work either ...

Thanks,

--Alex
