Hi, you can try to use command prompt to reset your lost password. I have used it to reset sql sa password successfully on sql server 2000/2005.
First, open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
Then, type the follow commands, and press Enter after each line:
Osql –S yourservername –E
1> EXEC sp_password NULL, 'yourpassword', 'sa'
2> GO
It could help you.

The application is coded using ASP.net and C#. A part of the application allows the user to download files. The size of these field can be up to 80 MB. It works when the connection bandwidth is high. But in other cases, after a few minutes, the next messages is displayed: "The connection with server was reset". Here the code that I use: private void SendPageToBrowser(string filename)
