Hello

On an sql Server 2008 I had an Admin login 'sa' and a password xxx
Recently a collega add a new login and password using my admin login

Since that I can't login anymore using my Admin login but well with the new one
However the Database created with the Admin login is not accessible anymore

Durin login process I can get either
'login failed for user sa'
or
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process.

Any Idea to fix that ?
Thanks for any help

nope..your problem is that someone changed the password for sa

sa...should have it's password canged, written down, put in a vault and never used again, AFTER another sa account, preferable with Windows security has been created

Thank you X002548

One more information
I can see the (sa) login in

SELECT * FROM sys.Server_principals
but NOT in
SELECT * FROM sys.Database_principals
Is it normal ?
