| We've got an application running which someone built for us, however that company has since gone out of business. The application uses a local instance of SQL Express. It works fine however we need to get some information out of it which is not provided in the standard reports, normally we would ask the company to produce a custom report, but obviously this is not an option now.I've tried to connect to it using integrated authentication but that didn't work, we have access to the actual mdf files as these are on the local machine, I was hoping there was a way of extracting the password and then building the custom reports ourselves.Thanks |
