error when connecting to sql db

iis and sql on same box. asp lan app.

I can open the initial page but get this error when i try to look up
a
customer or other db dependant actions.


Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040e4d)
Login failed for user 'sa'
/ctservice/view_edit_service/getindex.asp, line 22


the code on line 21-22:
Set connEditService = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connEditService.Open conString


This started when i tried to change the sa password so that i could
access the db for a mail merge. I don't have the original sa password
and i don't know if i enabled it by accident. If so how do i remove
it
or fix this error? thanks jho.
