Hi,
I inherited database admin duties from a previous employee who is no longer with us. The program currently used is SQL Server Manager and it has a database that I need to back up. Problem is, he never left the password. I have tried all combinations I could think of and doesn't help. I have tried to login as local administrator but this fails.
I can login with Windows Auth but this doesn't give me the ability to do anything.
What are my options? At this point when I have to run DB repairs etc I just have our Windows guy take a snapshot of the VM. I rather be able to backup to disk or some other storage but this requires the sa account.
