Change the Password for a SQL Service Account

When Vault is installed, default passwords are provided for the VaultSys and ADMS_%SiteName% SQL Service accounts. The administrator can change these passwords to be more secure.

Important: The passwords for the SQL Service accounts must be changed through the ADMS Console. Changing the passwords with SQL Management Studio will cause ADMS Console to throw an error.

Change the Password for a SQL Service Account

1. In the ADMS Console, select Tools > Administration.
2. Select the Advanced Settings tab and click Change in the SQL User Account Passwords section next to the account for which you want to change the password.
   
3. On the Change Password dialog, enter the new password in both boxes.
4. Click OK to save your changes.

Note: The Vaultsys password must be the same on all Subscribers in a Connected Workgroups environment.
