how can I create a sql login login2 with the same password as login1 if I am an administrator and I don t know what the password of login1 is?

Thanks

P.S: It s just that I m creating script automating changing domain name in sql logins and sql DB users becuase that didn't happen automatically after a windows migration

Thank you.

there is a way to get the hashed value of the password for an existing account, and then use that when creating a new account.

the sp_helprevlogin script does just that. You will have to google for it, or search microsoft's KB articles for it since it is an add-on script from microsoft.
