HeidiSQL solution for SQL Server error 18488? I'm connecting to a remote database using HeidiSQL client but looks like the administrator has activated the enforce password change policy (Error 18488).

Is there a workaround to solve this with HeidiSQL? Or I need to download and install SQL Server Management Studio?
You can change the password from sqlcmd using -z or -Z:


  -z new_password Change password: 

sqlcmd -U someuser -P s0mep@ssword -z a_new_p@a$$w0rd

  
  -Z new_password Change password and exit: 

sqlcmd -U someuser -P s0mep@ssword -Z a_new_p@a$$w0rd
