How do I change the password in the SQL "DotNetNuke" log in. I put in the password that the video says "dnnpassword" then when I try to install and configure the database connection I get this error message:
Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 18456
Message: Sql login failed

It has something to do with the password automatically going to the default password and I cant change it without knowing what it is. Does anyone know the default password so I can change this to match with the database configuration part of the installation?

Hallo, I had the same problem. And  the innitial password had to be changed at first login. To prevent this, check the fields in your account on sql server and look for the fields:

"Enforce password policy"
"Enforce password expiration"
"User must change password at next login"
(for iis6)

Hope this helps

If you have SA access to the server you can run the following to set the password to a new one. As previously noted, you need to remove the enforce security attributes.

USE master
GO
sp_password @old=NULL, @new='YourNEWPASSWORD', @loginame='YourCurrentDBUSERNAME';
GO

you should have a tool to access database configuration, e.g. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or a hosting tool, to manage your logins. Please make sure, mixed authentification has been turned on for your SQL server or you granted dbowner permission to the asp.net account.
