find account name for script

I'm logged in to admin console of filemaker. I'm trying to schedule a scriptmaker script. But when I select the database, it's asking for the account name and password, which I do not know. How can I find out using admin console?

I was able to login to that database using guest account on my own computer, and manually execute that script. But in admin console, when I try to schedule it, if I login as guest account, I didn't see the  script show up in the list. Why?

We used to out source this to consultant. Now we're moving this in house.
Well, depending on your work agreement with the consultant, they may or may not "own" the code and may or may not be willing to give it up without additional cost to you. If you don't have the Full Access password, you'll need to ask your former consultant for it. If your former consultant is not available then you don't have a lot of options. There are third-party utilities that say they can "recover" user account names and passwords ( just google "filemaker password recovery") but I have no direct experience with them.
Thanks, willmcn. This is helpful!
