    That's of course if your NT account has SA priveledges. If
    you do not, and you did not delete the builtin admins, you
    might try to log in as the account that runs the SQL
    Service or as a domain admin and change the password, if
    you don't meet that criteria, you might try some of the
    password cracking software out there to crack at least one
    SA account (i've used a couple but none I reccomend over
    another)
