Hi,

I am facing issue to decrypt a database password that was given while the .mdq was created. The application was created back in 2008 now seem we have some issue with the user access.

This is for the database password, I can see the encrypted password in the properties of the database in WTX design Studio.

Is there any way to find the password or to turn off the encryption so that the .mdq can have the original password.

Thanks,

Kopal

Thank-you.
