Hi Sir,
I had bought a ASP.net book, and the book have attach with a
“Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine” CD installer, but when I install it pop out the below message:-
- A strong SA password is request for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to support the same. Refer to readme for more detail. Setup will now exit.
But I had check the whole book and CD, also cant find any ‘SA password’. Can sir/ anybody teach me how to install the “SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine”, for my final project. Thank you!
Regards,
Mike

Not exactly sure what's going on, but it seems that you need to use a stronger password for the sa account than you tried initially. You need some lowercase letters, some uppercase letters and a number or two, and a !@#$%^&* or two will help as well.
Thanks,

The sa account is the System Administrator account. Since anyone who logs in with that user id can do anything they want in any database, you should use a secure (complicate and/or long) password.
For help on installation, open the file ReadmeMSDE2000A.htm that comes with the installation software. Or, click here for installation instructions:
(p.s. These instructions apply to MSDE 2000 Release A, other versions are probably similar)
