title: Export/Backup a SQL Login's Information
body: <p>I have a certain dilemma, using <strong>SQL server 2005 and 2008</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>There's an emergency that needs to be performed, and the only way (SLA-bound) to do so is to use a certain SQL login. The problem is, the person who has the password can't be reached, and we soon need to perform the update (through an application and using scripts and ssis).</p>
  
  <p><em>The current discussion is to change the password and then revert back to the original.</em></p>
  
  <p>So, is this possible? To export or backup the SQL login? (Coz if so, then we can indeed easily change the password, perform the update, then restore the original one)</p>
  
  <pre><code>For this scenario, kindly assume that we need to backup the 
  SQL login's info (including the password)
  </code></pre>
