Pervasive SQL db Password Hack Needed

[Stoic Joker]

Greetings (I do hope this is in the right form...)

Okay, just to get this cleared up; I am the Network Administrator for the company I work for, and this action was requested directly by the owner of the company. So...Yes I am legally allow to be asking/doing this.

Now (that that's outa the way...) What we have is a Pervasive SQL based accounting application, that only allows write access to the db via the main GUI interface. Unfortunately we need to access the db from the backend (e.g. direct SQL Queries) to resolve some misc. issues with the db.

The db's SA password is hard coded into the application in question (**** if I know where...I l00ked), and is "other wise un-available". So...What I'm looking for is either a password recovery utility that works on Pervasive SQL dbs or a method of "extracting" said password from the db by (Um...) "force".

Thank You

Um... (several threads on that page) ...assuming you were referring to the "forced" sa password change; It's a good idea...but I can't use it.

If I do a forced reset of the sa pw then I can get into the back, but the accounting app won't be able to get into the "front" anymore. <-kinda throwing the baby out with the bath water)

I've basically resigned myself to having to brute force this project, so any recommendations on what utility to use would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
