[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1136129, member: 82144"] To be absolutely clear: MediaPortal doesn't require you to use the SA account, or a particular password. The purpose of the dialog in the screenshot I posted earlier is to enable you to enter valid connection credentials. You do [B]not [/B]have to use the default MediaPortal credentials. In other words, I don't think you needed to install SQL Server Management Studio to change the SA password. It should have been possible to simply enter the current SA password... or even to enter another valid username and password... and MediaPortal should have been happy to use those credentials (as long as that account has permission to create a new schema/database). In any case, I'm glad you managed to sort this out. :) [/QUOTE]
