    Hello all,

    How to recover a database if an encryption key is lost?

    Thanks.

    It's not clear what your issue is here.

    Have taken an encrypted backup in sql server 2014 and now need to restore this backup?

    USE AdventureWorks2008R2;

    ALTER MASTER KEY REGENERATE WITH ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'dsjdkflJ435907NnmM#sX003';

    GO

    With this, you can regenerate the encryption key.

    That only alters the master key encryption password

    UR;LT

    Seriously, what is your exact situation?

    TDE database with no certificate backup, but database still open and usable?

    TDE backup, no certificate, no database?

    Encrypted database backup with no key?

    Hope it helps
