I’m sorry, but I’m afraid your only option would be to contact any of the 
vendor’s employees who you might have a good relationship with and ask for the 
password.

The bigger question is are you allowed to use this build media?

If this vendor created it and their employees used it to build machines for 
this client and now they do not have a contract with the vendor any more, is 
that build media the client’s property or the vendors?  If it’s the vendors 
then I don’t think legally you would have a right to use it.  If it’s the 
client’s property then the responsibility falls on the client to document and 
provide the password.

Without knowing the background I’m just taking a guess here though.  I don’t 
know who is contracted with who and how exactly you fit into the picture.

I doubt you will be able to hack the password on the media. And if it is an 
SCCM build media without an SCCM infrastructure you’re not going to be able to 
re-create it.  From the outside it sounds like you have a legal issue to 
resolve.  Who owns that build media and its contents?

If the vendor is the only one with the password then working with them is 
really the only option you have.

It use to be vendor employees now they are I more with our client...

Any idea saves life.... Because we can't reach or recreated sccm in a day or 
two with all age settings and apps...

If there is no existing SCCM infrastructure for you to recreate what they had 
set up, then I think you’re going to be stuck.  I don’t think that reverse 
engineering that build media is going to be cost or time effective.

Has nobody used the build media recently who would remember the password?  Or 
did only the vendor’s employees use that build media?

Someone else may have a more elegant solution, but can't you just recreate the 
media and not specify a password this time (or specify a new password of your 
choosing)?

Thanks,

Jeff
