Can not connect to SQLSERVER

  • Hi,

    i've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 in my system and after that i've updated the 'sa' account using the script

    USE [master]

    GO

    ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD=N'blah' MUST_CHANGE

    GO

    and after the restart of services, i tried to login as 'sa' user. Unfortunately it is giving me some error:

    A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

    Server Name: XYZ\SQLEXPRESS

    Error Number: 233

    Severity: 20

    State: 0

    i've enable namedpipes in Sql Server configuration manager. Could anyone pl. tell me how can i fix this issue.

    Thanks&Regards,

  • as it is mixed mode authentication, you can login with domain admin or if your windows id have enough permission on server and domain then connect the sql server with your/domain_Admin account.

    Login with that account and fix sa id.

    Is this exactly the name under which your SQL service is running if you look at computer services (start, run, services.msc).

    Why did you choose to "MUST CHANGE" after login?
