Change Username/password

The login for our sql server is the default sa with a password.
I would like to remove the password but cant find where I can actually do
this.
Can someone help ?
TIASetting a blank SA password is not a good idea, it can leave your machine
open to virus attacks. You'd be better off setting the SA password to
something nobody knows and create a new account for people to use with only
the permissions they require.
A. Change the password of a login without a former password
This example changes the password for the login Victoria from a NULL
password to "B3r12-36".
EXEC sp_password NULL, 'B3r12-36', 'Victoria'

you really dont want to do this. the sa login is the 'system
administrator' to sql and having no password on it will open a massive
hole in your security. You should ideally only use the sa on the server
itself (to prevent sniffer attacks). You should create a seperate login
for day to day activities.

=============|||Hi,
You can login to Sql Query analyzer using NT
Administrator ( Provider this has permission to access
sql) and you can reset/change the password using
sp_password - stored procedure.
Pls try this out . Hope this will do the needful.

right password for security reasons.
