Ross,
You can get into all of my databases that way, including
the enterprise SAP database.
Wonderful huh?
Changing passwords around is on my todo list, but it's
often not as simple as just changing it. There may be

Or a 3rd party duhveloper installed the software and
set everyone up to run as SYSTEM. Brilliant.
