I have MS assessment toolKit database backup file, I want to see and explore that database so I need to import that .bak file on my Express database engine on my local machine. How can I do this?
I tried simply restoring that .bak file but it can't pull details from that .bak file.
How can I access (LocalDB)\ToolKit instance in SQL Server Management studio?

Exactly what steps did you take, in what order, when you tried to restore the .bak file you have?
What were the results you got from each step?

There is no error, when providing .bak file to SSMS to restore it, it does not load backup file details. we can't move further.

I have resolved this by following:
1- Open SSMS Connect (LocalDB)\MapToolKit using my windows user credentials
2- Connected to database Server and listed the databases
3- Took a backup using SSMS and then when I restored that copy it worked.
Earlier, I was using Microsoft Assessment ToolKit for taking Backup which was also .bak file but it was not restoring using SSMS.
Thanks for your time and help/interest/response.

I must say that I do not fully comprehend what your problem was and how you solved it. But you did solve it, and that is in the end all that matters.
Thanks for posting back!
