Hi, Which SQL server credentials you have changed ? Default content Access account's credentials ? or farm admin account ? Please follow the procedure mentioned in below article to update farm credentials once. http://support.microsoft.com/KB/934838 This will update all credentials in farm and its not required to change farm admin account's password, you just need to update content access account or credentials used in SQL server. hope this helps.

Hi, Just open your central admin and add sql account into "Site Collection Administrator" OR you can update farm credential. stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword Let us know if it worksCheers, Hemendra-MCTS "Yesterday is just a memory,Tomorrow we may never see"

Thanks Pratik, Hemendra for your suggestions. This problem is resolved now. It worked by executing all the commands in http://support.microsoft.com/KB/934838 provided by Pratik Vyas. I first executed all the commands in above article and then changed the database credentials in Central Administration->Application Management->Content Databases and it worked. Although i tried changing the database credentials before but it didnt worked. It worked only after executing the commands in the aforementioned url. Please let me know what could be the probable cause of this problem. Thank You Friends!!!!
