I have a new Azure account. I am able to log into the 'manage' page as admin, but I forgot the password to one of my databases. I would like to reset the password on that one DB. How do I do that? Microsoft doesn't seem to have a KB on that - at least not one I could find. Thx.
If you're referring to the administrative password for a specific Windows Azure SQL Database server, you can do this from the new portal. Select the Database choice on the left, then select Servers:

Then, after selecting the server of choice, you'll see the option on the right for resetting admin password:

You can actually reset your admin password to your SQL database using the old/previous Silverlight portal.

Log into https://windows.azure.com/ or into the current one and select "Previous portal" from your login

In the previous portal click the "Database" menu item on the bottom left

Select the database from the subscription

click the "reset password"

Update for new portal:

Go to the SQL server that's hosting your SQL DB and click on "Reset password".
