Run the Configuration Wizard again on the primary Solarwinds server, and choose the Database option to configure the database. It will re-create the default admin account, with default password and permissions.

If you don't want to take an outage to run the config wizard, here's another approach. ***Note that manually editing your database is something SolarWinds support will advise against.***

You can find any account in the database (your own, for example) in the table named Accounts, make the table writeable (Enable Table Editing option), and change the 'AllowAdmin' to 'Y' and then Execute Query.

If you had an admin account and needed to set the password back to admin (or if you pick a different account whose password you've forgotten), change as stated above and then:

update Accounts Set Password = '107-418190326507573368052-0229-09646' where AccountID = 'Admin'

That sets password to 'admin'
