can't access server - lost sa password

We have what we think is msde running on a box. No one knows the sa password.
I am in the domain admin group on Windows and the Windows admin group but
when I right click on BUILTIN\administrator, I don't get the "properties"
menu selection. I also can't create a new login.
A few weeks ago I was able to create a new login and a new database. I'm not
sure what happened. My windows login is not there anymore but I would have
thought I could use the BUILTIN\administrator login to admin the server.
Any ideas on how I can get control of the server?
Thanks,
Dan D.
Although I hate tools like these but try this tool if it works for you ...

Cannot view reports but able to see ReportManager from different

My RS was installed on server which is accessed from 2 domains (lets
named Domain1 and Domain2).
Server belongs to Domain1 and RS service has admin privileges on
Domain1 as well. Viewing reports on Domain1 cause no problem. But I
have users in Domain2. They have got RUSER server role to access to RS
with Windows Auth.
When I open reports on Domain2 I could see Report Manager home page,
but when I click report I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the
webpage".
Is it possible to have access from 2 different domains to RS?
Any help appreciate.
Regards,
BartekAre the domains trusted? Does Domain1 trust Domain2?

Cannot view DB properties

Upgraded from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I am using Domain User with admin rights
to view the DB properties and its failing with "Property Owner is not
available for Database '[DB_name]'. This property may not exist for this
object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"
I was able to view the properties of the same database using same domain
user when we were in SQL 2000.
How to solve this issue? Any input is appreciated..

How did you upgrade? Did you upgrade the server in place, to did you
reattach the database?
It sounds as the latter. The SID for the database user, does not seem to
match any login on the server. Use
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE:db TO [domain\user]
and if necessary, create a login for the domain user first.

Sorry, I don't understand , what do you mean by "In-Place Upgrade"?
I just did testing and it worked fine.
1) BACKUP DATABASE command on SQL Server 2000
2) RESTORE DATABASE command on SQL Server 2005
3) Drop user in the database after restoring
4) CREATE LOGIN on SQL Server 2005
5) CREATE USER in the database and mapped it to the new created LOGIN
If it does not help, please privide with steps you did so far.

I can only change the Owner to sa and for any other USER if throws me the

existing instance of 2000 to 2005, why is that only for 5 databases I am
seeing this kind of behaviour.
Every thing was fine when it was in sql 2000.I was able to change the DB
Owner...

Check out http://sta.c64.org/sqlprg.html
And download http://sta.c64.org/sqlprg/fixusers.zip
Before you run the script be sure and read what it does.

That is not possible on SQL 2000 either.
The login that owns the database always maps to the dbo user. If the login
already maps to a user in the database, the login can't become the database
owner, because he would then map to two users.
Thus you need to explicitly drop the users that you want to own the
databases.
I can't answer why you only got a problem with 5 of 20 databases. The
answer for that may be hidden in their previous history.

not sure what else to check....have looked all over the net.
thanks.OS error 1058 means "The service cannot be started, either because it is

So, from the services applet, have you made sure the service is not
