Studio Express Password Change

  • I can find no way to change a user account password with Studio Express. How can this be done?

  • Use T-SQL, from BOL:

    ALTER LOGIN login_name

    {

    | WITH [ ,... ]

    }

    ::=

    ENABLE | DISABLE

    ::=

    PASSWORD = 'password' [HASHED]

    [

    OLD_PASSWORD = 'oldpassword'

    | ]

    ]

    | DEFAULT_DATABASE = database

    | DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = language

    | NAME = login_name

    | CHECK_POLICY = { ON | OFF }

    | CHECK_EXPIRATION = { ON | OFF }

    | CREDENTIAL = credential_name

    | NO CREDENTIAL

    ::=

    MUST_CHANGE | UNLOCK

  • from the UI side, right-click on the user, and go into properties.

    If you don't have access to the PW, then it's a windows user. Change those from the OS.

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
