How could I get it again?

Thanks

"What is a password for "SA" account?"

Hahahahahaha! The one you carefully wrote down and locked in the safe for the very rare occasion when you would ever have to use the SA account to get yourself out of a big hole!

By default sa account when you installed is blank unless you change.

you need SA privilege to do this not necessarily the sa account
are you the DBA for the server? if no, ask your DBA to reset it for you

You can change it with the sp_password stored procedure.
Of course, you'll have to login first...
