how do I set up my Student password for the SQL Server VM

Question

thomas filley 0

I'm attempting to learn the basics of SQL Server and at the point where I launch a VM to test my knowledge (specifically: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-transact-sql/6-exercise-work-with-select-statements). The VM launches successfully and presents me with a login for Student (requiring a password). I am stumped here (have researched resources via web searches; however can't find a solution that works).

Any guidance for me?

Gratefully,

Tom F.

Can you share a screenshot of the login dialog, so that we understand what password it is asking for?

Erland:

Thank you for the consideration of a response. The requested screen shot is:

It (the screen shot) appears when the knowledge test is launched. I've researched how the Student password is created; unfortunately, the guidance suggests that setting up the password was part of the learning exercise (which it was not). Apparently changing the password is disallowed unless that option is selected at the time of password creation. I'm in a mouse wheel.

I'm in.

The correct password is contained within the split window (see to the right of the screen shot). It does not appear unless you launch the "split window" option provided by clicking on the three horizontal line in the upper right hand corner. Clearly a perseverance and IQ test obstacle. Glad I passed.

Regards and Thanks !

Yeah, I though "the password is right there". You found it before I got complete by comment. Great! Good luck with the rest of the lab.
