changing sa login in MSDE

I’ve found this little legacy app on our network that runs on MSDE.  Of course, there’s no documentation on it, so to restor the app on a new server requires me to reset the sa login.

Here’s how:

from the command prompt, execute:

osql -E -Q “sp_password NULL, ‘newpassword’, ‘sa’” #### replace newpasswd with a real password.

 Thats it!  Then you can login and test your new password with : osql -U sa -P newpasswd.

That should get you in, then you can run exec sp_helpdb and see your databases.
