Can't connect to SQl Server 2005 with sa Login

Hello,

I recently installed SQL2005 and SQL2000. I only created SA login permissions with Admin access to the database (There are no Windows Users that have access).

I then installed SQL2000 and it overwrote the "mixed connection mode" . whenever I try to connect with the sa login I get the following error

Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)

The problem is explained in a fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269587

The only problem is that the fix requires access rights that I don't have. My only logins are "BuiltIn\Users" that have public access rights and then a "sa" login (that doesn't work) that has Admin rights within the db engine.

So my question is... Can I create an sysadmin account with windows authentication (for a normal Windows Admin Account) without having the proper rights within the database engine?
