SAS DI Error: "CLI error trying to establish connection...."

I have been working with SAS DI studio for couple of months and never found the error like this before,“CLI error trying to establish connection: [Teradata][ODBC Teradata Driver][Teradata Database] The UserId, Password or Account is invalid. : [Teradata][ODBC Teradata Driver] Not enough information to log on ”

Error is self-explanatory, it means the user id and password I have given is incorrect. I was really surprised!!! It was working fine last week. What happened in the mean time?? Who changes my SAS password??
No No, it’s not your SAS credential, look at the error carefully; it’s your Tera data credential.  I tried to remember and finally recalled my credential for Teradata has been changed in the meantime (few days ago).


Oooo Yes, I know how to fix it!!??? I opened ODBC data source administration and changed the password (Fig:1). It should work now.  Don’t you think same like me?

Nope, it did not work; still got the same error.

After searching a little bit found there is a SAS tool called ‘SAS Personal Login Manager’ where you should update your database password if your database credential changes.
How to do that?

It’s simple; open the tool “SAS Personal Login Manager” and updates the password and closes it (Fig:2).

Now if you reopen your SAS DI studio and run the job then the error will disappear.
