Step #1:
1. Run the following script on the source SQL Server. This script creates
two stored procedures named sp_hexadecimal and sp_help_revlogin in your
master database. Continue to step 2 when you finish creating the procedure.

----- Begin Script, Create sp_help_revlogin procedure -----

USE master
GO
IF OBJECT_ID ('sp_hexadecimal') IS NOT NULL
  DROP PROCEDURE sp_hexadecimal
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_hexadecimal
    @binvalue varbinary(256),
    @hexvalue varchar(256) OUTPUT
AS
DECLARE @charvalue varchar(256)
DECLARE @i int
DECLARE @length int
DECLARE @hexstring char(16)
SELECT @charvalue = '0x'
SELECT @i = 1
SELECT @length = DATALENGTH (@binvalue)
SELECT @hexstring = '0123456789ABCDEF'
WHILE (@i <= @length)
BEGIN
  DECLARE @tempint int
  DECLARE @firstint int
  DECLARE @secondint int
  SELECT @tempint = CONVERT(int, SUBSTRING(@binvalue,@i,1))
  SELECT @firstint = FLOOR(@tempint/16)
  SELECT @secondint = @tempint - (@firstint*16)
  SELECT @charvalue = @charvalue +
    SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @firstint+1, 1) +
    SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @secondint+1, 1)
  SELECT @i = @i + 1
END
SELECT @hexvalue = @charvalue
GO

IF OBJECT_ID ('sp_help_revlogin') IS NOT NULL
  DROP PROCEDURE sp_help_revlogin
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_help_revlogin @login_name sysname = NULL AS
DECLARE @name sysname
DECLARE @xstatus int
DECLARE @binpwd varbinary (256)
DECLARE @txtpwd sysname
DECLARE @tmpstr varchar (256)
DECLARE @SID_varbinary varbinary(85)
DECLARE @SID_string varchar(256)

IF (@login_name IS NULL)
  DECLARE login_curs CURSOR FOR
    SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins
    WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name <> 'sa'
ELSE
  DECLARE login_curs CURSOR FOR
    SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins
    WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name = @login_name
OPEN login_curs
FETCH NEXT FROM login_curs INTO @SID_varbinary, @name, @xstatus, @binpwd
IF (@@fetch_status = -1)
BEGIN
  PRINT 'No login(s) found.'
  CLOSE login_curs
  DEALLOCATE login_curs
  RETURN -1
END
SET @tmpstr = '/* sp_help_revlogin script '
PRINT @tmpstr

BEGIN
  IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
  BEGIN
    PRINT ''
    SET @tmpstr = '-- Login: ' + @name
    PRINT @tmpstr
    IF (@xstatus & 4) = 4
    BEGIN -- NT authenticated account/group
      IF (@xstatus & 1) = 1
      BEGIN -- NT login is denied access
        SET @tmpstr = 'EXEC master..sp_denylogin ''' + @name + ''''
        PRINT @tmpstr
      END
      ELSE BEGIN -- NT login has access
        SET @tmpstr = 'EXEC master..sp_grantlogin ''' + @name + ''''
        PRINT @tmpstr
      END
    END
    ELSE BEGIN -- SQL Server authentication
      IF (@binpwd IS NOT NULL)
      BEGIN -- Non-null password
        EXEC sp_hexadecimal @binpwd, @txtpwd OUT
        IF (@xstatus & 2048) = 2048
          SET @tmpstr = 'SET @pwd = CONVERT (varchar(256), ' + @txtpwd + ')'
        ELSE

      END
      IF (@xstatus & 2048) = 2048
        -- login upgraded from 6.5
        SET @tmpstr = @tmpstr + '''skip_encryption_old'''
      ELSE

      PRINT @tmpstr
    END
  END
  FETCH NEXT FROM login_curs INTO @SID_varbinary, @name, @xstatus, @binpwd
  END
CLOSE login_curs
DEALLOCATE login_curs
RETURN 0
GO
 ----- End Script -----

Step #2:
After you create the sp_help_revlogin stored procedure, run the
sp_help_revlogin procedure from Query Analyzer on the source server. The
sp_help_revlogin stored procedure can be used on both SQL Server 7.0 and SQL
Server 2000. The output of the sp_help_revlogin stored procedure is login
scripts that create logins with the original SID and password. Save the
output, and then paste and run it in Query Analyzer on the destination SQL
Server. For example:

EXEC master..sp_help_revlogin
