Hopefully, someone has a clue about this. We recently upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Everything was fine until we changed the administrator
password for our NT domain, which has about 26 servers on it. We also changed the local NT domain on the SQL server machine to match the
network NT domain password. This seemed to work until a reboot a couple of days later. No we get a "failure to start do to logon failuer" message.
Anyone experienced this problem?
I read in Computer Weekly (Jan 6th 2000) about a bug in SQL Server 7. This means that any user can get hold of the administrator (sa) password.
Does anyone know anything more about this ??
thanks

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?
I am looking to create an ASP w/ functionality to change user's SQL password. Many do not have access to EM or Query Analyzer and need a website to visit. Has any had expirience w/ this prior?
View 19 Replies View RelatedI want to connect to company's SQL Server from home and to connect to home's SQL server from company remotely.
The new released SQL Server Web Data Administrator by Microsoft seems solving my issue.
I use it to connect to different SQL servers in different domains company wide successfully, but I failed to connect to home from company( I have static IP on the home server).
Also I want to know how to configure the sever name if I want to connect to company's SQL Server from home. The company SQL server is inside the firewall with a internal IP. How it works?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe recently downloaded and installed SQL Express as it was a required program for our new database management software. When trying to install my database management software I was asked to Login to the SQL server. I entered the SQLEXPRESS server, however, I do not have the SA password. When SQL Express installed it did not ask for a password only for a user name and company. I am running Windows Small Business Server with the Administrator and no password. We did not assign a password to the Administrator account yet.
I have tried to leave the password blank using the login SA and I get error message 28000 Login failed for user. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.
Is there a default password for SA? Or in the alternative, how do I create a user or associate an exising Windows user with a trusted SQL server connection?
Hi. I changed the Administrators Login password on my web & data base servers, both of which are hosted on Windows Server 2003 and run iis6. This caused the reports (I'm using 2005 Reporting services) to stop running. Rather I get the error: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized"
I made the necessary adjustments to the web.config and the reports just won't run. I have been struggling over this all day. Can anyone offer me some advice?
Thanks

but when i tried to login using newly created account i get the following error.
Invalid username and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist.

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,

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.
Can I have warm stand by database on SQL 2000 Server.The source server will be SQL 7.0.
In another words can i shipp transaction logs from SQL 7.0 and make Warm stand by on SQL 2000 with SQL 7.0 full and transaction log backups
Thanks

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?

Please help! I am new in SQL Server 2000 Administration. My manager had ask me to manage a SQL Server, but Windows Adminstrator refuse to give me Local Admin rights. I only have sa account to login to databases. I don't know any excuses or reasons to give to Windows Adminstrator so that he can give me the local admin rights. If any one have this answer, please help. Thank you.

SQL 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
My objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

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.

I am newbie in SQL, asking help from you people.
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2 running on Windows 2000. We are planning to update service pack from to 2 to SP4...Is it okay? What are the requirements? Will there be side effects in our systems?

I'm unable to gain connectivity to two stand- alone PC's having WIN XP PROFESSIONAL, v. 2002, through Microsoft SQL SERVER 2000. :eek:
Both the PC's are stand-alone and have both have WIN XP PROF. I installed Microsoft SQL SERVER 2000 in which only the Client Components were successfully installed.
I have the Administrator Rights on both the PC's.
The Problem on both the PC's that I'm facing is as follows:-
On starting SQL Server Enterprise Manager, the PC was not detected as a Server under the SQL Server Group, and thus I selected the option 'New SQL Server Registration', then I gave my full computer name (as appears in the properties of 'my computer'), selected Windows Authentication and then selected OK to start or connect.
It did not connect and then I got the following error message:
-------------------------------------------
A connection could not be established to 'COMPUTER NAME'.
Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
ConnectionOpen(Connect())
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration property (by right click on the COMPUTER NAME_node) and try again.
OK
-------------------------------------------
On starting the SQL Query Analyzer, firstly the message connecting to 'COMPUTER NAME' was seen and then it also gave the following error message:
-------------------------------------------
Unable to connect to server 'COMPUTER NAME':
Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory] SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
OK
-------------------------------------------
where the 'COMPUTER NAME' stands for the name of the particular system that can be seen in System Properties-> Computer Name-> Full computer name.
I had installed the MDAC Components from the Windows Update website.
I checked the registration properties and have tried many times but everytime the same error messages were received in both the systems and all the efforts bore no fruits.
Both the systems are:
Intel P4
WINXP PROF. v2002
128MB DDR RAM
40 GB HDD
Please help soon as I am studying SQL Server!
THANKS. ;)

Hello,
I would like to see if Microsoft has issued any announcement on SQL Server 2000 end of support. If anyone is aware of this or seen new posts/articles, please let me know.
Thank you!
In SQL Server 2000, can you enable an option to check password retries? For example if an SQL Server ID logs incorrectly 5 times, you disable the login account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
