Ray writes "Lost sa password is there any way of recreating sa user account or granting sa privileges to another userid that can access SQL. One of our SQL servers crashed and after it came up we cannot login in to it. The MSDB & Master DB are suspect. Cannot run DBCC because I do not have admin privileges.. Any help is appreciated
