Login Woes
-
A few months ago I set up a website for a minister friend of my mine. For the secure section of the website I used the standard login.aspx page with the Microsoft Login Control. The site was published to a third party host so the user login info is stored on the remote SQL Server database. Everything has performed fine for about 8 months until yesterday. He calls me and says that he can't log in! I wasn't worried and told him I would fix it today. Now I am worried! Every attempt to login or reset the password had been unsuccessful! :( I've been doing research and it appears that the LoginControl has several bugs. Here's the main question: Is there any way I can reset the user passwords using another tool? I can log into the remote server using SQL Server Management Studio. Thanks, Mr. Depressed

My Articles Developer's Best FriendI'm not aware of "several" bugs related to the LoginControl. Perhaps you could elaborate on these. I assume you have not maintained a separate master user account? Can you use [Web Site Administration Tool </a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yy40ytx0.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]? Has the 3rd party updated the database or perhaps made a change that requires a new connection string? If all else, use the web.config to add users temporarily.
