How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server 2008How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server 2008 1. On server A, start SQL Server Management Studio, and then connect to the instance of SQL Server from which you moved the database. 2. Open a new Query Editor window, and then run the following script.

USE master
