Hi All,
Is there a way to start SQL Server in Azure with single user mode with instance not being a VM ?. The sysadmin access is lost and need to get back in. Would the same instructions on a regular instance apply to Azure SQL Server ?
Thanks.
Starting SQL Server in Azure with Single user mode
Hello @CalvinDelaney-8033,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.
In case of a VM, this can be done, as SQL server on VM is just like as on-premises VM. You can refer to the following link for details alter-database-set-single_user-statement-in-sql-server
I have verified in our lab and, it is not supported in SQL PaaS environment.

That is the point. It is not a VM and I know it can be done if it was a VM.
You should be able to reset that password within the Azure portal on the Overview blade of that Azure SQL Server
There should be a Link/Button "Reset Password" which resets the admin password for that whole server
=> be careful if this server was used by different/several applications and databases and not just one.
