How find Master key password for MSSQL?

How find Master key password for MSSQL?

Hi,

In ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus v14.7, I am trying to migrate the database to MSSQL. During this process, I see "Master Key Password".

I successfully connected to MSSQL using the default master key password, but I do not know the password yet.


  1. Where is this password stored and How can I find and back up this password? I checked system_properties.conf and database_params.conf but found no reference to the master key. Also there is also no master.key file.

  2. When is this password required in the future? Is clear text paswor required?
