remove database without password

remove database without password

Hi all,

once upon a time (January) I installed Maxdb 7.6.0 on my windows system. Due
lack in time I had no time to test the database and so I forgot the password
for the database admin.

Now I want to deinstall maxdb, but I need the password for my maxdb admin. Does
anyboy have any idea how to remove the database without the password?

I tried to remove the ../sdb/data/config/install/INSTREG file so the database
seems to be removed for the maxdb installer, but later the installer checks for
installed databases and finds the database again ... :(

I traced the deinstall and could find password like phrases like "secret" in
the RAM, or "~/^\(.*\),\(.*\)$/" in the INSTREGLOG file. These does not seem to
be real passwords because they do not work for my problem.

So my question again: How can I remove Maxdb completely without the Maxdb admin
password?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Peter.
