if you use native server and database auth., no chance. if you lost the Password than you must call your solution center or Microsoft dynamics Nav distributor.
In past there was an option with 20 ? (question marks) but since 4.0 this is not possible.
With other words:
So, you have an problem #-o
And this problem can be very expensive ...... [-o<
The only chance is, if you use the MS SQL Server and the Super user is an Windows user or an SQL Server Authentication.
Then you can reset / change the password in AD / Sql Server.
thats easy, for this ask you DBA.
For the future. create two super users an store the password securely :idea:

Best will be to restore latest backup, if you are using Native DB. There is no way around, excluding possibility of Microsoft tool to access corrupted databases.
Yes i forgot, the backup option. If you restore an native backaup (fbk) then you are automaticly super user. delete / change the super passeword. Now you have full acc. But you must restore all transactions between backup and restoing time
Should point out that the backupoption only works for some versions of the native. Just mentioning this in case it doesn't work for you. It is however the only option in native.
if you have previously set up an odbc connection with the password, you can connect through Microsoft access and link to the user table, where you can delete the password for the user, then login with a blank password and change it.
This is if your odbc connection that was previously setup has permission to access the user table.
