This tool will help you to recover SQL Server database passwords if you have forgotten them.
If you have forgotten the SQL Server password while accessing user database created under SQL Server Authentication, the SysTools SQL Password Recovery Tool can still let you access your account. When reset has been done, SQL users can access their individual database accounts as the previous password has been removed. SysTools SQL Password Recovery software helps reset SQL server password and allows user to login to the user account without the restriction of password protection. You will be able to get at the user id and login data browsing the MDF data. SQL password reset then can be carried out without affecting data integrity. The tool works with SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 and operating system versions of Windows right up to Vista.
Once the user is selected and the reset option is activated for SQL password change then the message to take the backup of master MDF file and master .log and .ldf files will pop up, and it is advised to take the backup of the items before heading to reset SQL SA password process for safety. The tool will reset password of the selected user account from unknown to empty, so that user can login to the account without password. With the trial version you are able to demonstrate the process but not actually be able to reset the password. You will need the full version for doing that. This is a very helpful tool when working with SQL servers.
