I try to develope an Application with .NET C# 2.0, which uses a SQL Express Edition Database. As you know, I can give the SQL Server a password an username (or Windows auth.).
Wenn the user has already installed SQL eXpress Edition, he can access to database and change the data manual.
Is there anyway to set password to a database in SQL Server (Express)?
I have installed Visual Web Developer Express 2005 with Sql Server Express, I can login with window authentication, but I want to create different user and password that I can use to access a database I have created, can anybody help me how to do this ? Thanks.
Hello, I am trying to validate a user via a stored procedure. This works OK until I try to validate the password, at which point the validation fails (even though the password is OK). Below is my sproc. If I comment out AND m.Password = @Password the sproc is OK. I am passing in the password as a string when testing the sproc. Any ideas? J. ALTER Proc [dbo].[pru_VerifyApproveUser] @UserName nvarchar(256),@Password nvarchar(128),@ApplicationName nvarchar(256)AS BEGIN IF EXISTS(Select * from dbo.aspnet_Membership WHERE Email = @UserName)BEGIN DECLARE @UserId uniqueidentifierSELECT @UserId = NULLSELECT @UserId = u.UserId FROM dbo.aspnet_Membership m, dbo.aspnet_Users u, dbo.aspnet_Applications aWHERE LoweredUserName = LOWER(@UserName) ANDu.ApplicationId = a.ApplicationId AND LOWER(@ApplicationName) = a.LoweredApplicationName ANDu.UserId = m.UserId AND m.Password = @Password -- If @Userid is Null - then the above credentials are not satisfied-- e.g. wrong password/username combo.. IF (@UserId IS NULL) BEGIN RETURN 2 END Update dbo.aspnet_Membership SET IsApproved = 1 WHERE Email = @UserName RETURN 1 END END
I am attempting to upgrade an MSDE SP4 named instance to SQL Express SP1 and it is failing with a message that I must use Windows Authentication to continue the upgrade. The thing that I noticed is that when I specify an '@' sign in my sa password the upgrade fails, but if I specify a "#' sign instead the upgrade runs successfully.
The strong password rules appear to be that
1) the password must be greater than 8 characters
2) at least one character must be from 3 out of 4 of the following:
a) lower case characters
b) upper case characters
c) numeric
d) special characters (non-alphanumeric)
If I install the MSDE SP4 named instance with the password abcd@ABCD the upgrade to SQL Express SP1 fails with the message above. If I install the MSDE SP4 named instance with password abcd#ABCD the upgrade works.
The command I am using to install the MSDE instance is
I used to have an Access database which had tables for users, roles, actions etc.
This was used by a C++ client app (using ADO) which logged in, got the user ID and password (by raising a login dialog ) and then checked these against a user table and then assigned the roles and possible actions.
Now we have SWL Server Express 2005 - NT Authorisation - how do I get/pass the user ID to the C++ Application so it can get the associated roles? Seems silly to have 2 logins.
Better still can I do away with the App's User table or make its password column invisible to all users bar Admin and the C++ App?
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.....
My PC is Window XP Pro and I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. My question is how to create a login userid and password under "SQL Server Authentication"? (as shown in http://www.findingsteve.net/print_screen.jpg) Any tutorial about this I can read?
During an install of SQL Server 2005 Express setting the sa password does not work consistently. The install is being run as administrator and I am using an .ini file to pass the settings,
and while most times it works correctly, occasionally, maybe 4 out of 10 times it fails to set the password and I have been unable to find any warnings or errors in the logs it generates.
We are coming up on release and this is causing us some real problems. Does anyone have any ideas, something I could look at?
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
sometimes the sa password is set correctly, while other times it is not. There does not appear to be any particular environment or system setting when it fails vs. when it works.
We are coming up on a release date and this is causing us a serious problem. Can anyone help?

Hi all, Is it possible to recover or find the password of database or resetting is the only option? I have a database that has a two users in the Users tab. How to find out the password for these? Thanks,

I want to allow access to a database from another computer via tcp/ip connection.
When i use Windows authentication, this works if access from the same Windows account name; it is not necessary to supply any UserID or something else. But how to authorize access from another windows user account?
When i don't use Windows authentication ( SqlConnectionStringBuilder.IntegratedSecurity=false in C#) i never succeed to access to the database even on the pc where the database is. I created a login+password+user using code like
command.CommandText = String.Format( "CREATE LOGIN {0} WITH PASSWORD='{1}';", login, password ); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); command.CommandText = String.Format( "CREATE USER {0} FOR LOGIN {1};", userName, login ); command.ExecuteNonQuery();
but how to use these Login, user, password ? What i'd like to do is simple: allow access to my DB by supplying a Name and a Password.
I use VS express2014, C#, .net 4.x and VS CE 2013, Windows 8.1&7
I want only SQL Server Authentication not Windows Authentication Because If some one copy database and attach at some other place using Windows Authentication then they can see each and everything.
I want something like Access (I know its password can be broken very easily)
I want to protect Table & SP Schema, Data is not much important.

I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure! However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it. If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane! I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is: DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
that sounds obvious but I'm stuck... I have an ASP.net application which someone else started and I continue. on the SQL server there was a user X which was used to access the database from the ASP website. I accidently changed the password in the SQL server and now I cant restore the prior settings (trying to reset password to blank or embedding the username and password in the connection string didnt work). it stops on "connection.open" with - "SQLException Login failed for user 'X'" any ideas why that happens and how I can fix it?
