You can't change the SA password from within GP.
The sa password is attached to SQL and you will have to change the password within SQL.
1. Open the "SQL Server Enterprise Manager". This is usually under "Start"-->"Programs"-->"Mi
2. Navigate to the "Logins" object under the "Security" folder on the SQL Server you wish to administer. Then, right click on the 'sa' account and select "Properties".
3. Now, enter a new password in the "Password" field under the "Authentication" options.
Also check any Maintenance Plans, SQL Jobs, and connectivity to SQL (ssrs, ssas etc.) as they might have been configured with the 'sa' user and hence might not execute. The connection settings will have to be updated with new password as necessary.

Sa password is changed only in SQL, enter security, logins.
I will not afect odbc, because it is not stored
Is is necesary to check if vba customs, reports, packages or jobs, had used its password, because they wont work.
