I recently had to recover a database for a group.
There were no recent backups of the master, model, msdb.
After creating a SQL server and reattaching the additional
databases. There were several orphaned logins. After running
sp_change_users_login 'report' against some the databases I reassociated all but one a dbo login on on of the databases.
When my users try and use this database they are asked to supply the
sa password. I received a single suggestion to run sp_changedbowner 'sa' for this login. I am new to forum and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thank you
Angler

Look up orphaned users in BOL. Also, read the article posted below:

It is most likely a problem mapping the SID to the SA account.
