Author  Topic  tellblom Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2011-02-08 : 12:38:57 Hi all, I have a situation where a sql username and password is coded in to a application. The developer has died in a car accident and we have no clue what the password is. The client running SQLExpress 2005 has brokedown and the disk is inaccessable. Is there a way to get the hashed password with a network trace so we can set up the user again on a reinstalled client? And NO there is ofcourse no backup of the system databases of the SQLExpress server, just the user database. Anyone know of a good tool? I have tried wireshark but cant see any logininformation at all /M
