Hi,

When we do repair of SEPM or run management server configuratin wizard. It will prompt you for DBA password

Many users don't remember password or when administrator leaves the company he doesn't share it. For Other issues troubleshooting stops due to DBA password.

SEPM should store DBA password in cache or should have access to reset DBA password like admin

idea should be taken into consideration or the importance of saving password for future use should be emphasised while being setup .
