Where to find Database Logon details?

Scoobsheister · 2008-05-16, 22:26

Installed last Friday's SVN build, however i can't remember my logon details for the sql server! :<

Have tried 'sa' and 'MediaPortal' but that doesn't work. Could've sworn i didn't set a password but it didn't like it being blank. Where are the logon details stored in SQL? Is there somewhere i can view what the login should be?

Hi,

I have the same problem - After installing SVN 19127, starting TV Server configurator prompts for database login, entering the password fails the test. Tried dbadmin, mediaportal.

I also couldn't work out where in SQL Server to see or change the password.

Cheers

To reset a SQL Server user password:
Log on as adminstrator on the pc with sql server, then open up SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Change Authentication to Windows and connect.
Under Security->Logins you should see "sa".
Open up the properties page and you should see the password fields to edit.
