SAPServiceSID password change

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

We have a requirement where we require to reset the Password for SAPServiceSID. Is there a way we can do that?

What will be the impact on application? Where all we need to change the Password for proper functioning of application.

I would be grateful if someone provide the steps to chnage the SAPServiceSID password.

Thanks for your help in advance

Kind Regards,

Hi

You could change the password using Windows net user command

How to Change User Password at Command Prompt

net user user_name   new_password

You will then need to update the password defined in the SAP service option.

services.msc

Thanks for you response Yves

But this will change the password only at OS level. Will any change required at application and at database level?

Will application work after the change suggested by you? Are we not required to follow OPS$ mechnism as there is OPS$SAPServiceSID user as well?

Thanks!!

That account is not used within the SAP system, it is the user that runs the service/process.

No changes are needed at DB level.

Ops$ is used to get the password from the DB, it is not affected by a password change for SAPServiceSID user.
