You can get the pw back encrypted.
Or you can change the password.

Re-Register your sqlserver using Windows NT authentication Mode.
Then Using sp_change password to change your password.

Or you can go to the server console,make sure you have named pipes set on ,invoke query analyzer make sure there is no server name specified,and select use windows NT authentication,you will be logged on and then you can change sa password by specifying

sp_password NULL,'New password','sa'
hope it helps,
