Changing SQLServerAgent password

Hi, folks!
I'm trying to change SQLServerAgent password, as described in the following
link...
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;259710
... but in client machine (withou any interface), with Win98 O.S.
Do you have any ideas? (procedure, etc...)
If you don't have access to Enterprise Manager, one option is to
install the SP3 version of MSDE.

|||Sorry, I think that I did not understand what you said... I have MSDE SP3 on
clients. When I install it, the sa password is informed. But SQLServerAgent
password remains the same (blank). How to change this pwd?
Thanks for reply.

is an issue under SP1 and SP2.
If you are on MSDE SP3, the password requirement and usage info is in
the ReadMe file for this service pack.

SQLagent is using SA account to connect to SQL server, you need to type in
the new SA password on the SQLagent property/connect page to enable the
agent to connect to SQL again.
You may find any machine in your network which has SQL SEM installed to
perform the task. If your W98 is stand alone, you may consider installing
SQL client to the machine to give you an interface for this and other
possible tasks.
