MAXDB user / password to drop the database - do not have

[Former Member]

*Hello,*

*I am installing the SAPNWABAP701SR1_trial on one of our windows XP laptops and do not have the MAXDB user / password to drop the database which was built when a previous ABAP trial version was installed back in 2007.*

*Is there any way short of reformatting the drive to drop the database?*

*Thank you,*

*Emmett*

Hello Emmett,

-> What is the version of the database?

Post the output of the command:

sdbregview -l

-> Do you have another databases installed/running on your server?

Post the output of the commands:

dbmcli inst_enum

dbmcli db_enum

-> You are SAP customer. Correct?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Hello,

*Is there any way short of reformatting the drive to drop the database?*

If you would like to uninstall the database software on the server

==>

1. Check the knldiag file in c:/sapdb/data/wrk/NSP for the location data and log volumes.

2.

Run as Administrator on the database server:

c:/sapdb/nsp/db/pgm/dbmstop u2013d NSP

c:/sapdb/nsp/db/pgm/dbmunreg u2013d NSP

x_server stop

After that you could uninstall the database software < c:/sapdb/programs/bin/SDBUNINST u2013all >.

Check the uninstall log, which derectories could not be deleted.

Data/log volumes, config database files delete then manually at the end.
