Hi Julian
I've put this on your personal desktop as its probably the most secure
place on the network!
 
Can you please ask Sophie to change her SQL password when she logs in
again? I've reset it to TerrorInflictPurpleDirt996655 as it stands, but
obviously this is a tough one to remember
 
Maybe we should all get password managers?
 
Thanks,
James
