DTS & OWNER PASSWORD

  • I have a situation where a Developer created a DTS, put an owner password and an user password  & Finally forgot both.

    Developer requested me, if I could retrieve / reset the password.

    Even after spending a lot of time with BOL / Internet on the same topic, I could not solve this problem.

    Is Anyone aware of any method to RESET / CHANGE a DTS's OWNER / USER passwords ?

    And

    Why can't "sysadmin" members reset a password of a DTS without knowing the original password?  (I know they can reset login password without knowing password !! )

  • I know of no tool at this point that can hack the DTS encryption or these. However right click the package and try one of the previous versions (DTS has a versioning system built in) to see if maybe he saved a version without these in place but complete otherwise. That is your best bet.
