Have you tried connecting as the domain administrator specifying windows authentication?
Otherwise you have to go to single user mode

How convenient, another new user with a link to a paid for answer!

you can issue the alter login command to change the password..

ALTER LOGIN <login_name> WITH PASSWORD = <change password>

No need to use the piece of crap advertised above, it's probably riddled with spyware and viruses anyhow!

It is very easy to use some third party tool to solve the problem, it just take you less than 5 minutes to change your sql password, and even the beginner could quickly fix it.
