Change sa Password in MSDE

This is a newbie question but how can I change the sa password in MSDE?
You don't have the graphical tools with MSDE that come with full blown SQL
Server versions, but you have a command line tool that is called osql. You
can run this and then change the sa password with the following SQL
statement (assuming you are logged in as sa):
EXEC sp_password '<old password>', '<new password>'

|||Hi John,
We've also got a tool (MSDE Manager) that's free for personal use. Details
are on our web site. It can do things like this easily.
