I have deleted built-in Administrators from Enterprise Manager, Now I cannot logon in Enterprise Manager. I am using SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003. How can I recover it now? |

I am using SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003. How can I recover it now? Do you know the sa password? If not, I believe you are hosed. In SQL 2005 and later, you can recover from this situation by starting SQL Server in single-user mode; you will now be able to connect as system administrator, even if BUILTIN\Administrators has been dropped. But I don't think this works in SQL 2000. Note that your database are not lost. You can always reinstall SQL Server, and your databases will still be there. Only the system databases will be lost, that is logins and jobs. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel (AT) sommarskog (DOT) se Links for SQL Server Books Online: SQL 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc514207.aspx SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895970.aspx SQL 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinf...ons/books.mspx . |
