Administrator Password for SourceSafe

[darleen]

The administrator for our old SourceSafe database has left the company and we do no know the password. Is there a way of recovering and/or resetting the adminstrator password?

From the Visual SourceSafe 6.0 help:

If you want to provide a password for the Admin user, use the Change Password command to give the Admin user a password. After you have done this, make sure not to forget the Admin user's password, as there is no way to discover it; you must call Microsoft Technical Support Services for assistance.

I don't know if you are using 6.0, or if Microsoft still supports it, though.
