hi,

this is a VSS 6.0 question.

our old DBA left the company and forgot about the passwd
of our current VSS admin login, and none of us besides him
is the admin in our vss.

now we need to add our new DBA into our VSS, how can we do
it?

how can we 'reset the admin passwd' or 'add an additional
admin to the existing VSS' without knowing the current vss
admin password?

million thanks!!

JJ
