Find Sybase SQL Anywhere DBA password

[JohnRiviera]

Hello,

I have a client who enters information on a program linked to a SyBase base. However I do not have access to the data because that client does not know the password for the DBA user and no other user allows this access (probably handled by the program rather than SyBase itself). Could someone advise me( johnriviera@hotmail.com ) as to how to unlock this user, or extract the data to a particular format ?

We have a certain available budget for this, should it interest anyone.

Thank you,

Hope it helps.

Hi

I may have replied to you too quickly. My FAQ is for Sybase ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise) I am not 100% sure the same technique would work with ASA.

My apologies.

Unfortunately, I use SQL anywhere and that does not seem to be identical. As of the first step of the FAQ, I do not find a file runserver on my system.
