Hi, trying to use SQL server for the first time, and it's asking for a password that I don't know. Any guidance on that? Thanks.

As for my knowledge Password is not necessary if it is standalone system...
Just type ur system name as server name

Why don't you ask your DBA, the password he/she set for the server?

Thank you for your suggestions. I am a stand-alone desktop user that is trying to install Rivendell radio software which requires SQL. I am using Linux Ubuntu and every command string I've tried to run SQl has either led to an error message or asks for a password that I don't know.

Is it possible that I don't have a local version of SQL Running? How can I install/verify that for Ubuntu? thanks.

You do not have Microsoft SQL Server running on your computer, and you cannot install it on Linux Ubuntu. I doubt that you software uses Microsoft SQL Server; maybe it uses MySQL.

This site is only for questions about Microsoft SQL Server. You might try your question at the MySQL forum on dbforumns.com

Default login/password on MySql is root/root as I know, double check MySql doc.
