Invalid login - including SA - for all user ID to GP

Posted on by 22,647

When the server crashed yesterday, all users were connnected.

We cleared the Activty table - blank

We restarted the Server - physically

We restarted SQL Services

When I first tried to connect to ODBC I got error that the login for SA failed.  In SQL Server Express I was able to reset the password - and after changing it I was able to access the rest of the ODBC screens and it claims it is connecting correctly.

When I try to connect to GP - with SA - error message that

"There isn't a valid login record on the server for the login and password you entered. Contact Administrator or try again"

I am the Administrator and the ID I was using was the SA

When I look at SQL Table - Security - the user IDs are all there, the same as in the databases and same as in SY001400.  I looked for missing login IDs using the script to compare against

master..syslogins and the only two missing are LESSON1 and LESSON2 - which we have not had in the system for 6 years or more.

If I could connect with SA then I could recreate the USER IDs, however even SA is not connecting.

    Hi Bill,

    I'm not quite sure what the question is here, but are you saying that you cannot log in to the SQL server with what you think is the 'sa' password?

    Have you tried changing the password in SQL, since the 'sa' user originated in SQL vs GP?

    I see you have cleared the ACTIVITY table, have you also cleared the SY00800 and SY00801 tables?

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
