Hi,
I hope someone can help me in solving this issue. I migrated to a new server and had to move the DB to this new machine. All seemed fine, I restored the DB and then used the administrator to open and create a new database. It found my DB and all seemed fine. However during the creation it asks me for the master password. I have the master password but if I type it in it is not accepted. To be sure I tried also the server login password the SQL SA password and several more. Nothing worked and I am out of ideas what can cause this to not accept the password that are valid. I still have the old server standing here and I can still access it there using the normal passwords. So something must be happening when this is moved. Any tips for this would be great.
Thanks,
thom
