Sql server sa password hack

It was an awesome day today, atlast i found a way to hack a sql server and find the SA password.

Well it was an official need that my sys admin forgot the sa password and we had to find it, instead of changing it.

Created a custom dts package stored it in meta data services repository and queried the col11120 column under msdb.dbo.dbRTSmbprops table to see the password of the sa login.
