I have installed WebMatrix and MSDE and have been able to successfully make a connection from WebMatrix to MSDE. I am used to using SQL Server with Enterprise Manager but I do not have that available to me right now so I'm using MSDE instead. I followed the setup instructions on the WebMatrix tutorial and setup MSDE with an SA password. I would now like to change the password to something else. Is there a command that I can use to do that? There is no Enterprise Manager so I'm kind of stumped. Thanks in advance for your help.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
Hi,When I create a new database from Enterprise Manager (right click ondatabases > New Database) I noticed that I am not prompted to create apassword or user name. Can I take it then that all databases under thesame local group will have the same password and user name?I have tied to access the newly created database using the samepassword and username but haven't had any luck.Thanks
I have a MSDE database running with my sharepoint portal and now i want to customize the portal with some pages built in webmatrix, but i am getting a huge problem. i just don't know what he MSDE password is. how may i find it out, change it or even break it?
What are the exact requirements implied by the sql 2005 option:
"Password Must Meet Complexity Requirements "
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. I found this one:
-Cannot contain all or part of the username -Must be at least 6 characters long -Contain 3 of the 4 following character groups - A to Z - a to z - 0 to 9 - Special Characters i.e. ! ^ $ *
and I have also found
"At least 7 characters in length"
Combines letters. numbners, and symbolds
Is not a dicitonary word, name of a command, person's name or user's account name
I have installed MSDE using the following parameter:
commandline> setup SAPWD="MySAPwd"
now all was set up... when i opened the osql utility..i wasnt able to login... it kept asking me the login name ans password...
i entered my windows login name which is 'home' and entered 'kham00s' as the password... it didnt work... then i entered my windows login name again which is 'home' and entered 'OTHERPASSWORD' as the password which is my system password...but did not work either...
then i logged in using :
commandline> osql -E
It successfully logged in... and i was able to create databases and tables...
can someone tell me how to set a username and password for MSDE please... so that i can connect to MSDE using WebMatrix...
i m coming from a PHP/MySQL background so i know SQL and stuff... but dont know how to handle and configure MSSQL...
waiting for the response.. thanks in advance... Bye. Kamran.
While installing the MSDE I get the folowing error: A storng SA password is required forsecurity reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.

Hi Guys,We've lost the password for the sa. No other users belong to the admingroup. I've tried logging in using osql -E (windows authentication)without success. Is there anyway to reset the sa password? The databaseis MSDE and the version seems to be 7 (sql server 7 folder on pc). Itis running on Windows 2000 professional.Any help would be greatlyappreciated.Regards,Eddie
How can I restore the default setting for MSDE to have only Windows Autentication and not mixed mode? And to have my sa account without password? Please help me! Thanks, Nibbles
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?
I have one server out of 6 that lets me logon as SA with the default password of null. If I run this command to change the password I get password changed, but it did not change it, I still can logon as SA with the NULL password.
The old administrator left and I am learning slowly. Since his password was changed, SQL cannot start. I get an error 1069 login failed. Maybe you have a good idead I haven't thought of?
I've searched this forum and was surprised to not find this asked before - Is there any way to change SA's password (we have managed to lose it somehow)? And we do have physical access to our SQL Server of course...if that helps.
Dear experts, i'm getting problem with sql server 2000. actually i changed the service from automatic to manual, right from that day,sql server is not working on my machine.when i checkd in the properties of sql server registration, it is showing some around 8 letter password. actually i will connect with sa and password sa.
where should i change the password? is there any other solution?
or is it better to uninstall and install again? if so what about my databases?

I am newbie at SQL server, we have sql 7.0, sql2000 and sql2005. we need to change SA password but developers claim they have hardcode the SA password.
anyone can tell me where developers hardcode this SA password? what are the files i need to look up? if they hardcode it, impossible to change?
I have a SQL JOB that I inherited that uses FTP to xmit some data. When I attempt to change the password within the FTP job a window warns me that files will be deleted. My question is are these files just sytem buffers or will any important files get the axe ? Thx in advance. Lou
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?
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?
When using osql from a command prompt the following script was run: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', '', 'TestLogin'
We were trying to set a password for a login to blank, but now cannot access login into the application because the application was looking a blank password for this user but the password would not work for blank.
Note ---This client only has MSDE installed, not SQL Enterprise.
If the script is run from Query Analyzer it works fine.
The script should have been this: EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', Null, 'TestLogin'
It should have explictly stated NULL for the new password but it wasn't done.
Is there anyway to reset the password without knowing the existing password. No other logins exist. They tried logging into the system with no password, '',"". I am not sure what the password was set to.
Howdy - I am using SQL 7.0. I have done some research using the Books On Line and I do not find any documentation on how to change the sa password using a SQL Script. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
