Actually I think when you change the password in the Admin tool it will change the password on the database for the ARAdmin account.
You are correct that SA is only used during the install. Our DBAs do not let us know the SA password (When we do an install/upgrade they change SA to something easy for us and then change it back when we are finished).

I went through this awhile back, and they also changed my ARAdmin account password. >From what I understand, the ARSystem just uses SA to create the ARAdmin account. From that point on, it uses the ARAdmin account. If your DBAs or Security people change the ARAdmin account, then you simply update it via the admin tool that you list below. Remedy will instantly pick up the new change. Please, anyone, if any of this is incorrect, then please correct me, but I believe that what I stated above was true.

We've been told to change them, but I want to be sure that it's not going to stop AR System from functioning correctly. I imagine there's a setting for the sa password somewhere, as they ask for it during a server install, but I'm not sure where it's located. Is it the database password field in the admin tool?
