SAP<SID> Password Change Problem

Hi Gurus,

I have a test SRM System which was installed long time ago (using SAP DB). I forgot the password of SAP<SID>, so I changed its password in Database Manager GUI with SAP Instance offline. After that, I can log in SAP DB with SQL Studio with SAP<SID> user.

When I tried to restart the system, error came up showing that the SAP<SID> user's password does not match (error -4008), so no successful access to SAP DB, work+dispatcher stopped.

I guess the SAP System is still using the old password to access to DB. But how can I change the old password into new one?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,

I recommend you changing the password and connect to the database using CONNECT statement for the first time before you start the SAP Services. Check the below website:

Also, if you are using Windows, check updating the password for the corresponding services using services.msc (Start, Run, type services.msc). The SID<ADM> password should be changed for the services, when you change the password from the OS level.

Rgds,
