Getting a sql auth password

Hi, we run 2008 r2.  I see a number of sql auth (not windows) connections in my app for sql auth user name xxx.  xxx has a dbo owner role in my db.  Normally the password is stored with my app.  Long story short it got lost.
I have admin rights.  Is there a way for me to get xxx's sql auth  password from ssms or elsewhere?  We don't really have a dba.  The person who set this up has retired.
  

No - you cannot recover a password.  For good reason.  You can reset it - but that will likely break your ability to use this poorly-designed app (assuming it is hardcoded).

  • Please Help, cant get 8i Enterprise working on my system...cant get into sql plus

    Hello,
    I am trying to get my oracle 8i working. I installed it, and it went ok, except two optional programs didnt work, though it was recommended to get them working, i didnt know how and just went on. Also some of the programs are not working either...which i dont understand since the software installed successfully.
    I am using 8i enterprise on my win2k system. I am not on a network and am using it only on my local machine. I CANNOT get into Sql Plus as it is asking me for a user/password/host string. i tried so many combinations. scott/tiger, system/manger, sys/system_change_on_install and various other things on this discussion board.
    Nothing is working for me and I have no idea whats wrong. I have used installed Oracle systems before and used to just login those systems as scott/tiger and no problems. This is the first time i have installed it from scratch and i havent been able to get into the system.
    Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Thank you.

    the programs that do not work are:
    Database Configuration Assistant
    INTYPE File Assistant
    Net 8 Assistant
    Net 8 Configuration Assistant
    Net 8 Easy Config
    I click the programs and nothing happens. Not sure even if something is supposed to happen though.
    the error when i type in the pass/user is:
    ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error
    thank you for helping.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

    I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?  I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
    Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
    Apple ID
    Possibly (likely)
    Possibly (depends when Registered)
    More currently Yes.
    No

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6 I am not getting prompted for my password when I update apps. Why is this?

    When I updated apps on my ipad2 and iphone4S I used to get prompted for my password within a certain time.  So I could update a couple and then 10 minutes later if I wanted to download or update something else I would need to put in my password again. Since I upgraded to iOS6, I don't believe I am prompted for my password the same amount of times. I updated an app this am after not using iPad through the night and it just updated, no password required. This has me concerned now because sometimes I bump buttons by accident and now I will be charged for these accidents. What has happened to Apple's brilliant security?

    They've changed it in iOS and updates (and updates ONLY) do not require a password since it is really unnecessary as they have it on record that you were the one who bought the app. Why is more security needed, you aren't going to be charged for anything?
    Next time you update and app go to the App Store and try to buy something. You will be asked for your password.

  • How to get the SQL queries based on SQL_ID.

    Hi Experts,
    I want to get the SQL queries based on SQL_ID.
    I have tried the following query,but I am not getting full query.
    [code]SET linesize 132 pagesize 999
    column sql_fulltext format a60 word_wrap
    break on sql_text skip 1
    SELECT   REPLACE (TRANSLATE (sql_text, '0123456789', '999999999'), '9', ''),sql_id
    FROM   dba_hist_sqltext s
    WHERE   s.sql_id = '7tvurftg8zryb';[/code]
    One of my friend said use grid to get full query text.
    Can you please help me how to use grid ,else any other method to get the full query based on SQL_ID.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    You have these many options to set, if sql_text is really huge. But better use a tool(TOAD) as it's really helpful and easy to use instead! (See my previous comment).
    column sql_text format A10000
    set echo off
    set head off
    set feed off
    set verify off
    set termout off
    set lines 10000

    set trimspool on
    set pages 0

  • How to get the SQL Signon that Agent Jobs "Run As" or "Executed as User"

    How to get the SQL Signon that Agent Jobs "Run As" or "Executed as User"?
    I have an install SQL scripts that creates a Linked Server. I want to put some security on the Linked Server and only grant the Agent Job Signon (the "Run As" or "Executed as User") access to the linked server. I need to retrieve the
    Agent Job Signon (something like "NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$FIDEV360BI02").
    I could query certain jobs and SUBSTRING the Message column - using some form of the query below, which would return "Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$SSDEVBI02. The step succeeded." But that is pretty imprecise.
    use msdb
    SELECT [JobName] = JOB.name,
    [Step] = HIST.step_id,
    [StepName] = HIST.step_name,
    [Message] = HIST.message,
    [Status] = CASE WHEN HIST.run_status = 0 THEN 'Failed'
    WHEN HIST.run_status = 1 THEN 'Succeeded'
    WHEN HIST.run_status = 2 THEN 'Retry'
    WHEN HIST.run_status = 3 THEN 'Canceled'
    END,
    [RunDate] = HIST.run_date,
    [RunTime] = HIST.run_time,
    [Duration] = HIST.run_duration,
    [Retries] = HIST.retries_attempted
    FROM sysjobs JOB
    INNER JOIN sysjobhistory HIST ON HIST.job_id = JOB.job_id
    -- CHANGE THIS
    -- WHERE JOB.name like '%GroupMaster%' or Job.name like '%etlv%'
    ORDER BY HIST.run_date, HIST.run_time

    by default all sql jobs are executed as sql server agent account, unless otherwise a proxy is setup.
    you can get the proxy information as Olaf mentioned, if the proxy_id is null for the step, it implies that the job step was executed as sql server service account and in such case it will be null
    so, if it is null, it ran as sql server agent account.
    so, one work around is get the sql server agent service account and if the proxy is null, that means it ran as sql server agent account, so, use isnull function. the disadvantage would be if the sql server agent account was switched, you might not get the
    accurate information as the new account will show up though the job really ran as old account, to get this information, you need to  get this from the logmessage column as you mentioned above.
     try this code...
    /*from sql 2008r2 sp1, you get the service accounts using tsql,otherwise you have to query the registry keys*/
    declare @sqlserveragentaccount varchar(2000)
    select @sqlserveragentaccount= service_account
    from sys.dm_server_services
    where servicename like '%sql%server%agent%'
    select message,isnull(name,@sqlserveragentaccount) as AccountName
    from sysjobhistory a inner join sysjobsteps b
    on a.step_id=b.step_id and a.job_id=b.job_id
    left outer join sysproxies c on c.proxy_id=b.proxy_id
    Hope it Helps!!

  • How do I get rid of "disk password" user?

    I recently reformatted my mid 2012 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.1 . I have FileVault enabled and under "Users / groups" > "display login window as" I checked "name and password". After checking that option I still have "Disk Password" display as a user to login with in addition to my regular user name. If click on "disk password user" I am able to get to a screen that will ask for my username and password. When I enter that information it will log me into my regular user name. How do I get rid of "disk password" user?

    The safest thing would be to deactivate FileVault and then reactivate it.
