SEPM should store DBA password in cache or should have access to reset DBA password like admin (Embedded database)
Created: 11 Aug 2011 | Updated: 19 Jun 2012 | 11 comments
Hi,
When we do repair of SEPM or run the management server configuratin wizard it will prompt to enter DBA password
Many users don't remember the password or when administrator leaves the company he doesn't share it. In many cases troubleshooting stops due to DBA password unavailibility.

Database password recovey plays a major role during disaster recovery and much of the data is being lost without being recovered . As on date there isn't a reliable procedure to recover dba password , This
idea should be taken into consideration or the importance of saving password for future use should be emphasised while being setup .
This is only an issue for the embedded database.
For an SQL database you can change the password at will.
Yes it's for Embedded only.
SQL is third party software.

Dear all,
I search around this forum and try several method mentioned in forum. All of them do not work at all.
My problem is that I want to reset the password of embedded database (SEPM 12.1).
My case is that I reset once the admin password of SEPM via "resetpass" because I forget the initial password at all. Then I can login the Console to view all funcions and ....etc. Later on, I want to reconfig the management server via "Management Server Configuration Wizard". It will ask me the "DBA"'s password but I forget it at all.
I think that the method in "How to find the Database password for Embedded Database" article is old or not applied in 12.1 version.
Hi,
In SEP 12.1 there is not any supported method to recover the Embedded database password.
You must know the Embedded database password to successfully complete management server configuration wizard.

Thanks for Chetan's help.
The main point is how I can recover Embedded database password if I forget the Embedded database password.
