I have a DSS 4.50a. The former net admin at the site took the password with him. Does anyone know how to recover it?

Okay, never mind. I found the answer.

If anyone is interested, you need to go into the C:\CONFIG directory and copy PWDS.DFT over PWDS.CFG. This will cause the sniffer to revert to the default password.
