At no point did Brian have to login as the user whose account was locked out to change the settings around password enforcement in order to unlock the user's account. The solutions provided by Brian shouldn't require knowing the password for the Login, they just require the assistance of an administrator who is in either the Security Administrator or System Administrator server-level roles to effect the change.

How to reset user password in sql server 7.0 version because the password is locked, anyone have any idea please reply ASAP If it's a Windows login, the unlock must happen at the server (if it's a local account) or at Active Directory. do not support password lock for SQL Server logins. And at the top of my first Google search, no less. I believe it is the best option for unlocking the SA account. The only option for me was using the third party software SQL Server Password Changer. if you are going to have a password policy you should use it. Knowing what the policy is and changing the password to fit the policy is the proper way to resolve this issue. Given this scenario, which still happens all too frequently, how would you propose to unlock the SQL Server login and restore access to the application?Ĭhanging a security setting such as enforce password policy is not a proper way to unlock an account. Unfortunately, whoever doing the audit accidentally toggled the brute force switch and before anyone knew what happened, the login was locked out. If he or she does, the application can no longer connect because you have no option of changing the password in the application.
The password is hardcoded (it still happens in 2015) by the application, so the DBA can't change it. Let me give you a situation that comes up regularly in enterprises where you can have an account lockout and nothing intentionally malicious happened.Īudits are being done and the login in question is a known one because of an application.
I am sure I have had to use it at some point but at least highlight the concerns. In the end the account needs to be reactivated but even in your case you use bad practice such as hard coded, probably plain text credentials.
If we're talking about a homegrown application in my organization, unless the server sits in the DMZ, the application is using a Windows user account. In every case I've seen this situation, it's been a third party.
