Changing the SQL password

ceclark

We use Windows Authentication for SQL access, but I also need to change the password for the account NPM uses (database account is the window label). I've changed it in SQL Manager, but when I try and match it via the config wizard it fails with the error, "The SQL user account password is not valid." The password is 16 characters. Anyone run into this?

My two cents: The one time I did see this was when I migrated to a newer SQL server using the config wizard and tried using the same NPM account/password but would error about the password. I ended up creating a totally new SQL account/password to get through it. I can't explain why it did it, but the newer account/password did work around it.
