Overview

If you forgot your database account password or need to change it while using TencentDB for SQL Server, you can reset it in the console.

Note：

• For TencentDB for SQL Server, the password resetting feature has been connected to CAM; therefore, we recommend you exercise tighter control over the permission to the password resetting API or sensitive resources of TencentDB for SQL Server instances by granting such permission only to appropriate personnel.
• For data security, we recommend you regularly reset the password at least once every three months.

Directions

1. Log in to the TencentDB for SQL Server console. In the instance list, click an instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to enter the instance management page.
2. On the instance management page, select the Account Management tab, select the target account, and click Reset Password in the Operation column.
   
3. In the pop-up window, enter and confirm the new password and click OK.

   Note：

   The password should be a combination of 8–32 chars comprised of at least two of the following types: letters, digits, and special symbols (_+-&=!@#$%^()).
