Restore Database With Password Sql Server
Points: 435, Visits: 1,403 I have been given two .BAK files from another SQL Server, and am attempting to get those DBs installed on a local SQL Server using the RESTORE command. If i had .MDF files, I would simply attach them, but having only .BAK files I am trying to accomplish the same thing via RESTORE.As near restore database with media password as I can tell, SSMS does not provide for passwords in the "Databases\Restore Database..." UI dialogs. I can locate the BAK files (with some limitations), but simply get an indication that the backup file is password protected.Trying to resort to T-SQL (and perhaps not understanding what I am doing) I tried:RESTORE DATABASE DB1 FROM DISK='\\MyServer\MyDirectory\DB1_Full20081022.BAK' WITH MEDIAPASSWORD='pwd1'RESTORE DATABASE DB2 FROM DISK='\\MyServer\MyDirectory\DB2_Full20081022.BAK' WITH MEDIAPASSWORD='pwd2'(Paths and passwords are dummies for the example)My results:Msg 3279, Level 16, State 4, Line 1Access is denied due to a password failureMsg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.Msg 3279, Level 16, State 4, Line 3Access is denied due to a password failureMsg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 3RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.Trying to be optimistic, I am having the passwords verified by the owner. But it may just be that I am trying to do something wrong, or that should not be done.Should the above work? Any clues how I am screwing up? Post #636292 Mike - CIMike - CI Poste

With some creative searching online you'll find some articles on how to replace the password in the backup file with a known value which would then allow you to restore the backup.
