I have a scenario here.

We have SQL server 2005 in the office maintained at corporate level. When I try to login to management studio using my windows network id using windows authentication, I am able to connect to it.

Then we have windows service accts with unexpired passwords. I know that this acct has access to the sql server, how can I connect to sql server using this windows service acct. Where can I specify this windows id and password. This is not my network id. Please let me know any suggestions. Thanks

you need to login using that account and then open management studio and connect to server if you need to connect to sql server using other network id which never expires

You do not need to login with that account. You can use the "run as" functionality when opening SSMS. Right click the SSMS icon to get to this functionality.

You should NOT need to do this though.
