Hello.

I recently purchased a system from some Thai guy and I believe I have been partly scammed. He installed everything, and everything works fine except for the fact that I don't have access to the main "administrator" account. He simply created a new administrator that has less privileges account for me. I fear that he will later on get access to my system now that he has disappeared after some minor tweak requests from me.

I have searched the database for the users in SQL Server Management Studio without any luck. I'd happily give you access to the server through Teamviewer for some help on finding the administator account and change the password on it.

I promise a reward to the person that helps me.

Not clear if you mean SQL Server Administrator account or Windows Administrator account. If you have the latter, the former is easy to change.

You can add the local system administrator as a system administrator to SQL Serve quite easily by using setup.exe
