  I have about 40 machines that got MSDE deployed with blank sa passwords.  I  want to run a script remotely or locally (via SMS) that will set a new sa password. Any ideas or scripts that have been used?  Thanks

  Hi Gary,

  Try the following:

  --change the SA Password in the MSDE version 8.00.382

  EXEC sp_password 'OldPass', 'NewPass', 'sa'

  Good luck
