SSIS 2012 Lost password for master key

Question

Is there a way to regenerate the master key that is created when you initially create the SSISDB catalog? I have lost the password and am not able to recover this nor have I backed up the master key.

Answer 1

alter master key drop encryption by service master key

alter master key regenerate with encryption by password = 'password'

** do it at your own risk,this might change DSK, i didn't try it
