Answer 1

If you install SQL Server with Windows Authentication mode and want to change it, you need to do 2 different things:

1. Go to SQL Server Properties/Security tab and change the mode to SQL Server authentication mode

2. Go to security/logins, open SA login properties

a. Uncheck "Enforce password policy" and "Enforce password expiration" check box there if you decide to use weak password

b. Assign password to SA user

c. Open "Status" tab and enable login.

Answer 2

Just try to Login in by Windows Authentication.

After Login, Look for Security Tab in Server tree,in that Login and then sa.

Click on properties and change the password.

Do let me know if it dosen't works..
