Microsoft SQL Server (MSDE / Mixed Mode) — Default Password

MSDE (SQL Server Desktop Engine) and SQL Server 2000 mixed-mode installations default the 'sa' account to a blank password. SQL Server 2008 and later require a non-blank SA password when Mixed Mode authentication is selected during setup.
