Server running SIM ate it's raid, how to get back with using old database

My DL360 g5 after upgrading to P400i firmware 6.86 ate its Raid 6 on 4 disks, it said 3 of 4 drives went offline and came back, but at that point the raid was damaged.

So I reinstalled Windows and SIM, pointing it at the same SQL 2005 server as before. It installed a new database. I used the same service account as before for both service and database connection.

To point SIM back at the old database is there anything else I need to do besides editing \config\database.props and setting hp.Database.databaseName to the old name?

The new and old database has an user named "hpsim", which gets created by the install, is there a password somewhere saved for it, which would have to be reset?
