SQL 2008 R2

We had a SQL admin to leave the company, and he created a SQL server for our hosted Help Desk system.

We are trying to get into the SQL server with the SA account, but no one knows the password.

Is there a way to reset the SA password, without having an account to access the SQL server?

Can you get in to the server with Windows Authentication?

Is there an app that uses the Database?  There may be a connection string in the configuration that contains the info you need to get in.
