Easily find a table that stores the user name and password

Not long ago, a netizen posted a post on the "World of network administrators" Forum about the management software running by the netizen. The database of the software uses SqlServer2000, because the system is not used for a long time, I forgot the user name and password. Because there are too many tables in the database, I haven't found it for a long time, so I would like to ask you to provide a solution. After testing, I found a simple method. I believe it is helpful to my friends who have encountered such problems. Let's talk about the method below.

Open the "SQL event probe" (which comes with SqlServer2000 installation), create a new trail, and enter the Server IP address, database login name, and password for storing the database in the displayed window, 1. Click OK.

Click the "run" button in the new window, and the SQL event probe enters the monitoring status. Go to the management software and enter the user name and wrong password to log on to the software. Then we will find that the SQL event probe captures the SQL statement submitted by the management software, as shown in 2.
Let's take a look at the captured SQL statement: SELECT count (*) FROM xitong_yonghu WHERE (xitong_yonghu.yonghuming = 1 and xitong_yonghu.mima = netadmin) As you can see, the table xitong_yonghu is the table that stores the user name and password of the management software. In this way, we can find the password by checking the records of this table in the database.
