| I was removing old accounts from a SQL server, but i´ve noticed an account named 'sa' which has System Administrator rigths (me too) but i can´t delete it.
An error appears: Error 15405: Cannot use the reserved user or role named 'sa'
I can´t change this account role from the Server Roles tab.
Maybe it´s a default account, i really don´t know. If not, how can i delete it?

| You can never delete the SA account, it is a built-in account, if you change
to windows authentication it is not usable but you still can not delete it.
With SP3 they ask you to set a password for it even if you are windows
authentication only
