Use startserver to restart Adaptive Server in master-recover mode (see “Starting Adaptive Server in master-recover mode”). Watch for error messages during recovery.
Loading the backup of master restores the “sa” account to its previous state. It restores the password on the “sa” account, if one exists. If you used sp_locklogin to lock this account before the backup was made, the “sa” account is now locked. Perform the rest of the recovery steps using an account with the sa_role.
