Hi,

To move the model database, I have restarted SQL Server using -c -m -T3608 (using Configuration manager). But when I try to connect to the instance, I am unable to login to the system. It shows me the error:

Login failed for the user. The reason: Server is in single user mode.Only one administartor can connect at this time. ( Microsoft SQL Server error:18461

I am the only admin on my system.

Could anyone please tell me how to login to my instance and then execute detach command in the query editor?

Thank you,

Yours
SQL Buddy.

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
