Password not Added after Installation

Hi,
I recently installed MSDE 2000, by giving the following to
setup parameters in the Command Prompt:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\> D:\MSDE2000\Setup.Exe SAPWD="apple" SECURITYMODE=SQL
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 /L*v C:\MSDELog.txt
C:\>
In log file, it did mentioned that the installation is
successfull at it's end of the file. However the SA
password is blank eventhough I gave the password
as "apple". Why did this happen. Is there anything wrong
in my setup parameter mentioned in the Command Prompt?
Help required on this matter, cos there are several
computers left to install MSDE 2000 and hoping to use the
above setup parameters.
Thanx in advance,
shahzard.

the command line is ok, and i reproduced the problem on a Win2k box, where
SECURITYMODE=SQL has not been honored...
will investigate a little further... for workaround, run Regedit, locate
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\InstanceName\MSSQLServer
and set LoginMode key = 2
