Deny Builtin Administrators

I have denied the Builtin Administrators group with SQL Server, now I don't
have access to recover. Everything seems to run okay, but I don't have
permission to do anything anymore. I don't know the password to the sa
account. This is on an Active Directory domain.
Now I can't start backup exec, b\c of dependencies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.You're pretty well out of luck if you don't know the SA password and don't
have another administrator. The only thing I can think of is to install
again from scratch and then attach the databases - and write down the SA
password this time.

specifically granted permissions to a particular user before you denied
Windows admins and forgot the sa password.
