Upgrade SEC 5.2.1 to 5.2.1 R2 - Password not know for DB User

Trying to upgrade SEC 5.2.1 to 5.2.1 R2 but don't know the DB user password.  Support says to change password on domain account then reinstall 5.2.1 on top of itself using the new password.

All three components are installed on the same server.  I did setup a test server under this same scenario and changing the password on a domain account then upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.2.1 R2 seemed to work just fine.

I also read this article below and wondered if this would be an option. Deleting the reg key for DB user.

SEC reinstall over to change db un and pw failing

Thanks for taking time to read.

  • Christian,

    Appreciate the reply and apologies about murky details.  I running these dev environments to figure out what breaks if I change DB user password before upgrading to v5.2.1.  I've told that everything will break if I change password on DB user account (domain account) proceeded by upgrading to v5.2.1 R2. 

    Do you know what breaks?  Is there a particular setup that is prone to breaking if password is changed?
