What is the default password for SolarWindsOrionDatabaseUser under Orion Configuration Wizard?
well, when I pressed the "Use original database login and password" button it filled out SQL server name as local and provided login and password for the SQL server. It also allowed me to click next from that 1st screen, however, when I tried to provide the existing SQL login in 3rd screen, I couldn't type the password for "SolarWindsOrionDatabaseUser". My understanding is there should be a default one as I could go thru the 1st screen as shows above.I detached earlier, and would like to backup my default DB using the above login to restore if possible for my Lab.

If you just want the current password Orion is using, it's stored in SWNetPerfMon.db in the Orion subfolder of your install, e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Solarwinds\Orion\SWNetPerfMon.db(remove the (x86) for 32bit OS)
It's a plain-text file, just open it with Wordpad.

Hi ekdge,
I believe there is no default password here, are you also managing the SQL server you are using for Orion?you should seek some help from your DBAs or create a new login to use.
Sorry wrong button my eyes are tired...I meant to suggest sirpaw's answer as correct not verify it.
He is correct though the database user is setup by the installer and there is no default it is defined by the user while configuring.
When you are going through the configuration manager after an initial setup it will attempt to use the previous information. It is by no means a default it is just auto-populating with the prior settings.
As Sirpaw stated if you do not have the password you will need someone with SQL knowledge to create you a new account to use.
Password is encrypted in that file
Try the following:
Username: SolarWindsOrionDatabaseUser
Password: S0l@rFl@r3
Seen this as the default on a few installs that Solarwinds support have been involved with at some stage when there have been issues with SQL.
