Password recovery for "Owner" or sa user
Instructions for restoring access to the Torgsoft program for the main program user «Owner» with login sa.
When it is necessary
Applied in cases where the password for the main program account is lost, the standard login password does not work, and work in the program is blocked due to the inability to authorize.
Signs of the problem
Requirements for self-resolution
For most technical reset methods, physical or full remote access to the server (main computer) with Windows Administrator rights is required.
Important: if you are working on a rented server without Administrator rights, a manual reset is impossible. In this case, contact the hosting system administrator or Torgsoft technical support immediately.
What to do
Option 1. Checking the standard password
By default, the password for logging in under the «Owner» user in the Torgsoft program is 2009. Enter it. If the password did not work, proceed to the following steps.
Option 2. Logging in via another user
If another user with administrator rights (without access restrictions) has been created in the database:
Option 3. Resetting via SQL Server Management Studio
If access to the program is completely lost:
Option 4. Changing the sa password via command line (osql)
If Management Studio is unavailable, use the command line:
Note: if you see the message Password validation failed..., it means the password is too simple. Set a more complex password that complies with Windows security policies (including capital letters, numbers, and symbols).
Option 5. Contacting technical support
If none of the methods helped or you do not have rights on the server:
How to check the result
Launch the Torgsoft program, select the «Owner» user, and enter the new password. The login should be successful without any access error messages.
Prevention
Create a backup user in the program with administrator rights, whose password only you will know.
Securely store the password for the sa user, as it is key to managing the database.
Summary
To reset the password on your own server, use SQL Server Management Studio or the osql command. If the server is rented and you do not have administrator rights, contact technical support immediately.
