Re: OK here is the scenario

Well, here is a new question. I completed the recovery of the database... however I had no access to the enterprise database console via IExplorer..... so I guessed :) I went to database configuration and got it set up in there... it asked what password to use for everyone and I entered the same password.... oddly it will no longer let me into the database... it says my password is invalid.... is there a way to reset the password?
