Hello all,

Well in light of the new worm plaguing sql databases.. I decided to just change my sa passwords since I don't use them for anything anyway.

I am pretty sure that none of them are blank :) But one glitch I found was I was trying to change it on one server and I can't seem to do that.

This seems to be related to this thread:
http://sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6689

But there was no resolution then. Anyone have any feedback or options?

Thanks,
Greg

If you're doing this through Enterprise Manager, and the server registration was set up under sa, you'll need to re-register it through EM using another login, then you should be able to change sa. This happened to me once or twice until I figured it out.
