changing admin passwd

There is something seems strange to me that when i change the administrator password of the machine, sql server is not starting due to the problems of network.Anf forcing me to use the password that i give at the setup of win2000.Why does it occur and what do I have to do?By going to Control Pannel--->Adminsitrative Tool-->Services-->MSSQL SERVER..Double click on that and enter the new password.It should work then.

CHANGED backup time, but still occuring

Hello. Have a strange one here. I'm backing up databases locally to a drive
on the server daily. I needed to change the time of the backup, and did
that, but it's still occuring at the old time.

I deleted the old job, and recreated it with the new time. I won't know
until tonight at 12:00 whether that worked or not.

Can someone tell me where it saves the maintenance schedules and how it
kicks it off? I'd like to take a look at it to see if it's still there.

I'm a little bit of a newbie on SQL server, so be gentle. :-)

Can you give some more information on exactly what you did (and which
version of SQL Server you're using)? It looks like you're using the
maintenance plan wizard - which databases did you choose to backup,
what time did you select for the backups, what time are they actually
running at, what happens if you schedule a BACKUP command in a
scheduled job instead of using the wizard etc. And is there anything
relevant in the SQL Server Agent log?

Simon|||I think I have it fixed, although I don't know the exact cause.

I used the Wizard to create the backup job for all databases. I decided to
break out the database that was having the problem into it's own job. Then,
I deleted the other (all) plan, and recreated it without including the
trouble database.

No problems last night. Who knows what will happen tonight, but I feel more
confident. Something must have become corrupt.

BTW, to answer the questions, this is SQL 2000 server. There was nothing in
the SQL log that would point to a problem.

Thanks!
Doug
