It sounds like in the MS SQL Query window you have the "master" database selected and not your umbraco database. You're trying to run the query against the wrong db. If you are indeed using MSSQL, then at the top left in the drop down list, change the current database from "master" to your Umbraco DB and then run the script again. Don't forget to update the web.config to change password format from HASH to Clear as well.
I'm acually usin the right db. Se image. And as you can see, there is no tables in the Tables folder. And that a bit weird? And I've updated web.config from Hashed to clear aswell.
Was hoping it might have been something simple like wrong db selected, happens to me from time to time.
Does the front end of your site still work? That looks like you've not yet gone through the setup process, a completely empty database. If this is a fresh install is it possible that you setup the site using SQL Express? (check App_Data folder for DB file there) If that is indeed you're sites database then it would appear that all tables have been removed. If your site is still working is it possible that you have another db the site is pointing to? Only other thing I can think of is the credentials you're connecting to SQL Mgmt tool with don't have access but that would be odd.
The frontend works fine. I'm able to login with the password that I've made ready for my customer. My db connection looks like this: <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf;Flush Interval=1;" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
And ind App_Data folder the Umbraco.sdf is present.
From your connection string that you have posted, I can see that you are using the default SQLCE database, and not a MSSQL server. And you have a Umbraco.sdf file in the /App_Data folder.
If you have the Microsoft Webmatrix installed, try to open up your solution in this, and then you will see a tab in the left corner called databases, then you will get access to the database tables.
You can also use another editor that can read sdf. files. So as I think your site is use the database that you find in the /App_Data folder, and in this I am almost sure that you will find the umbracoUser table.
If your intention was to run the site from MS SQL 2008R2 then you have to pay close attention in the inistall process as it's not immediately obvious that the default install uses SQLCE database. You need to click "customize" right away in the install process in order to setup Umbraco on MS SQL Server.
Yup what the guys said - You're running CE SQL, which is the default unless you customize it to use MSSQL during the installation process :)
So you can use webmatrix (probably also visual studio) to see the tables in the database and run the query in there in order to do the password fix.
Once that is done and you can login again you can use webmatrix to migrate your CE SQL database to run MSSQL. You just need to right click your Umbraco folder and select the "Open in Webmatrix" option in the context menu. Then choose the "Database" tab in the lower left corner. Before migrating make sure to stop the site in Webmatrix and then hit the "Migrate" button.
Of course you need to make sure that the database and a database user has been created on your MSSQL server before doing the migration so you know what details to enter during the migration process.
When the migration is done you of course also need to update your connection string in the web.config file - The format of the connectionstring post migration should look like this <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=srv;database=db;user id=bob;password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Hope all of this information from this and the other posts by Phil and Dennis help :)
Very happy to hear that :) Yes, it seems it can be a bit confusing. Maybe the installer needs another revision so it's more clear that CE SQL is installed by default.
When I start a fresh install I always start out using CE SQL and then migrate at a later point but I always forget to deselect the theme website...Argh! :)

Forgot admin password umbraco 7.1.7
Hi there,
I've lost my admin password for my developer site.
I can't find anything that works for resetting the password in the database.
A lot of links is about UmbracoUser tabel, but there isn't any in my installation.
I've also tried to restore the database, but with no luck. Is the password not stored here anymore?
Is there any body who tried to reset the password in 7.1.+, and how should you do it?
Best regards
Palle
Hi Palle
Have you come across this post? http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/4790-ouch-forgot-admin-password-how-to-reset
Have you tried what Chris Larsson mentions in the answer marked as the solution?
/Jan
...As far as I know nothing in the database structure should have changed btw.
/Jan
Hi Jan,
Yes I have.
When i try: UPDATE umbracoUser set userdisabled=0, userLogin='admin', userPassword='rem123' where id=0, it gives this back :
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'umbracoUser'.
And in the folder tables it looks like this:
Tables
- System Tables
There is no tables to see?
Palle
Hi Palle
What database are you using?

Hi guys.
Thanks for all your help. That really helped me out. I got it working.
I'll remember to customize during the install process :)
