Solution to forgetting the VSS Admin Password

I accidentally forgot the password of the VSS 6 admin user (this proves my carelessness). I Googled and found the following information:

The secret is to hack the um. dat file to remove the Admin password

From offset 80 the bytes are (all numbers are hex)

0: 80 55 bc 7f 41 64 6d 69 6e 00 00 00 00 00 00
0: 90 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0: a0 00 00 00 90 6e 00 00 a8 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Just load the um. dat file into a hex editor and change the bytes from =
Offset 80 to exactly what is shown above. When the SourceSafe admin tool =
Starts it believes that the admin password has never been set.

The hex values above are taken from a 'virgin 'um. dat file

Of course, you didn't get this from me... and ALWAYS backup first (just =
In case I'm wrong)

Some friends cannot understand it. I will explain it in Chinese.

If you forget the password, open the folder where your vss database is located and open the data directory,
Find the um. dat file and open and edit it in the hex Editor, starting from 55 in offset 80
Change the value as described above and save it so that the um. dat file will return
Initial status (virgin? :)), And then open vss admin and log on with the admin user. tb is not required.
