How do I reset a user password in SQL Management Studio Express?
I am developing a windows application that is currently connecting to a sql database. Here is the connection string I am using:
<connectionString>Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=Fundamental;Persis t Security Info=True;User ID=FundamentalUser;Passwor d=pass</co nnectionSt ring>
When I go into SQL Management Studio Express, and then go to the local sql server/Security/Logins. I then double clicked on FundamentalUser to find the the SQL Server Authentication password is 15 characters long. I changed the Password to 'pass' and the the Confirm Password to 'pass'. When I hit 'OK' and go back into it, it did not save the password to 'pass'
Does anyone know how to change or reset the passwords within SQL Management Studio Express?
