Setting the System Administrator password

A user account called “sa” is created for the Sybase System Administrator when you install Sybase software. A user logged in as “sa” can use any database on Adaptive Server, including master, with full privileges. Immediately after a new installation, there is no password on the “sa” account.

The System Administrator should log in to the new Adaptive Server as “sa” and set a password using sp_password.

Connect to the server by double-clicking the jISQL icon in the /Applications/Sybase folder. Connect to the server, and send this command:

sp_password null, new_password

where null is the default password and new_password is the password that you are assigning to the “sa” account.
