I have couple SQL servers that nobody knows the SA password and nobody has sys_admin right to reset it. There is no BUILTIN either. Is there anyway to reset the SA password?

There is one another approach If any user is a member of Windows Admin Group then log in using that account. After that Start SQL Server in Single User Mode.

Create a new login and give it sysadmin permission.
