Very frequently I use following command prompt script to start and stop default instance of SQL Server. Our network admin loves this commands as this is very easy.
Click Start >> Run >> type cmd to start command prompt.
Start default instance of SQL Server
net start mssqlserver
Stop default instance of SQL Server
net stop mssqlserver
Start and Stop default instance of SQL Server.
You can create batch file to execute both the commands together.

Hi Pinal,
How can I stop all the instances running on the same sql server. using command prompt.
Hi All,
I am able to stop and start the services by running this commands from command prompt. But our requirement is to take the back up. Before taking the back up we need to stop the SQL Server services and take the backup and start the services again.
Is there anyway to schedule these commands? Appreciate your reply on this.
Thanks.

Alaa,
If you installed SQL using mixed mode, you should be able to log in to the computer Administrator’s account and then using Window’s Authentication enter SQL and rename the password.
