Unable to login to visual studio from an Azure database

Question

I have an Azure database that I am trying to update through Visual Studio. I am an administrator on the portal. When I am at the Azure database dashboard and select open in Visual Studio it prompts me for the password of a previous developer who is no longer on the project. When I try to enter my id and password I receive a error dialog with the following message:

My Azure Home Page

Answer 1

in portal.azure.com, you coule go to browser, SQL servers ans find ngl7ew5ap. In properties, you should see the SERVER ADMIN LOGIN. In the SQL server > ngl7ew5ap > Settings blade, You also have the option to reset that login's password.

NB: In that same blade, You also have the "show firewall Settings", but that doesn't seem to be your issue for how.

Answer 2

If you use the right user/pwd... Which version of Visual Studio do you use ? I remember a time where I had to connect with 'myusername@ngl7ew5ap' from Visual Studio. I think 'myusername' should be fine for VS2015 but you may try the other syntax. Hope this helps Best regards Stéphane
