TFS work-around or help needed

Question

We are using Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2008.

From the Buildlog.txt file I get the error:

TF14061: The workspace ALICE_3_;SCIENCE\TFSservice does not exist.

I've gone into the prompt ran:

tf.exe
tf workspaces /server:http://tfs-server:8080 /owner:ALICE_3_;SCIENCE\TFSservice

I get a permissions error... the problem is that the guy that knows the password is currently out of the country and unreachable... is there a way to confirm the workspace or add the workspace without said password?

Any advice would be appreciated.
