Hi Guys,
We've lost the password for the sa. No other users belong to the admin
group. I've tried logging in using osql -E (windows authentication)
without success. Is there anyway to reset the sa password? The database
is MSDE and the version seems to be 7 (sql server 7 folder on pc). It
is running on Windows 2000 professional.An y help would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Eddie

AFAIK since SQL 7 you have authentication and it is not possible to disable
login per windows authentication. So if you are logged in as windows admin
you should always be able to connect to a database like "master" (if the
server is running :-)) ). Then you can use sp_password for setting a new
password for sa.
Or you stop the server, save your database-/logfiles, make a new install of
SQL Server and then attach your database files again.
bye, Helmut
Is it possible to upgrade the database without the sa login (and noone
else belonging to admin group)?
