Having trouble connecting to .aspx database using web browser after changing the Windows SBS 2008 Administrator password.
Good afternoon,
After changing the Administrator password on our Windows SBS 2008 server, I have been informed that users are no longer able to access their client database that has a web URL pointing to the server ending is .aspx. When a query is made the connection times out.
I did revert the Administrator password back to what it was, however we're still not able to query information. Is there a configuration file that I can alter with the preferred new password? Also, with the old password in place we're still not able to query information - is there a service that needs to be recycled? Our DBA has yet to respond and I'm getting alot of heat so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The site loads, however the queries do not return anything. Is there anything we can do since the DBA is not responding?
Thanks

Thank you! I did change the Administrator password back to what it was before the password change. SQL Server Management Studio was able to log into the database which confirmed the password was OK. The final step that solved the issue was a reboot of the server. Now we are able to query the information.
Thank you again!
Thank you again!
The administrator password on the machine shouldn't be used in any configuration files for the site, but you can look at the web.config in the root folder of the web site. Make a copy before you make any changes. Editing this file can render your site useless if you mess it up.
Do the pages for the site load? If not, you can try to recycle the IIS services.
If the page loads but the queries don't return values or time out, you may have a database issue that the DBA will most likely have to address.
