| I need to change the passwords for our database. It is on a shared server. There are 5 users set up, and I know how to get to the Security/Users area, but then what? We're using MS SQL Server Management Express 2005. Really a newbie and need steps to follow...thanks. |

| Tara, I found what the area you are talking about, but the login I've been using does not have administrator privileges. How do I login in as "SA" on a shared server? The person who managed this is no longer working on the project. |

| I'm not sure, would first try the one that the login I have uses - in other areas he used the same pw over and over. |

| Tara, thanks so much for your help. The sa login didn't work through the Express login screen, so I called the hosting company and talked to someone else about it - they said the pw needed to be changed in two places and it could be done through their admin panel. They don't grant sa privileges on the shared server. Everything is working ! Hopefully, this thread will help others. |
