  • How are you connecting? SSMS or SQLCLI (comman line).

  • Is the SQL service running? The error suggests that it is not.

  • from Management Studio , File Connetion Object Explorer...

    then i type IP and Sa and pass...

  • Assuming (as Gail suggested) that SQL is running, follow the instructions in http://dbaspot.com/forums/sqlserver-server/357071-sql-server-2005-login-connection-error-233-a.html and ensure that you can logn to the server.

    I'm guessing your not using SSMS on the server itself.

    i should say that i forgot my password, and i tried to change it when i use new pass this error is occured ,i think i did not chane Sa Password correctly..... so how should i doo for change it correctly...

    Use this command:

    sp_password NULL, 'NewPasswordGoesHere', 'sa'

    As a side note, it's not a good idea to use 'sa' as a login to your database. You should create yourself a seperate login and leave the 'sa' well alone...

  • Are there any other SysAdmin accounts created?

    If you have forgotten the SA password and dont have any other SysAdmins, I'm not sure what you can do, other then rebuild. Its not a large production system i hope.

    Speaking for myself, i would never use the SA account and other then to set the password when the server is built (which goes in a password safe), the account would neve be used again other then a dire emergency.

    That wont work if he doesnt already have SysAdmin rights.

    There is a backdoor. It's not easy to do. Before we go that far though....

    Try logging in with windows authentication when logged in as a member of the local administrators group. Pre Vista/Server 2008, The windows group Builtin\administrators is by default sysadmin.

  • - Is your sql instance using Mixed authentication ?

    - did you check for the password with your peers ?

    - I would try a remote desktop connection, making sure you get logged in to the windows box using a local administrator account.

    Then use SQL Server Configuration Manager to check on the instance.

    Then use SQLCMD or SSMS (prefered if available) to connect windows authenticated - and hope you get into the sqlinstance.

    Then you can just provide sa with a new password. Keep in mind to inform your peers.

    - We do not use the sa account for connecting to the instance. All sqladmins are member of their sqladmins windows domain group. They login into the sqlinstance using windows authentication.

    - If applications need sqlauthentication, they are getting their own. (on a per application basis)

    sql accounts have different passwords on every sqlinstance.

    Yup.

    I've had to use it before, after someone cleverly removed the last sysadmin login (sa disabled) on a test server.
