I used MS Article ID: 246133 to create the sql logins from my sql 2000 installation into the sql 2005 installation. I then restored the user databases. If I go into sql and reset the password, I can then access. How do I avoid having to reset all 50 user's passwords?
 
Is the problem that the Security Identifiers (SIDs) are not lining up properly, or are you having to make the passwords meet the password complexity rules?
 
Is there a way to determine which one is the issue? Our passwords are not complex (the one I was trying was only 6 letters), so I assume it's the SIDs, however, the Microsoft how to document is specifically aimed at "moving" sql logins between servers on different versions, so I'm surprised there is nothing in there are adjusting for this when they are created.

I looked at the SID articles and it looks like each one has to be fixed one at a time? We have over 50.
