Erik writes "Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been successful in determining how to get the sa (ACTADMIN) password for ACT 2005.

This program is so awful (bugs and slow) that I just need to get to the data to export to an access database. The export function will not work since notes are not exported. SO, I am trying to access via a SQL client. Any help would be appreciated.

I know that some companies claim that if you send them the PAD file they can send the password. If it is as simple as that someone else should know...also I cannot justify spending anymore money on this awful piece of junk.

Thanks, Erik"

I believe I saw on the ACT web site that they would sell you the password for $1,000.

Looks like it's based on sql server (possible express or msde?)

You could try attaching the database files to another server of which you are sysadmin.
Copy them first.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
