sql server (microsoft) : SQL Server 2000 doesn't like the Administrator password being change

When we change the Domain Administrator password our SQL 2000 server
fails to login using WIndows authentication. It works fine after we
change it back to the old password. This happens even if the password
has been changed for a week. Does anyone know why this would be the
case? Thanks.

Our programmer figured this one out. You have to go into services on
the SQL Server and go to properties of the microsoft sql service. Then
go to the logon tab and change the password to the new one. Restart the
services and your ready to go!

Matt,

you should always use a dedicated service account with the option set
password never expires.
