HELP cannot start sqlserver.....

Help
We changed the Administrator Password, and now I cannot start Sqlserver on one of my systems.
And no password I try will apparently bring it back online
What can I do to reset password etc.
What error are you getting? Is that the account used by the SQL Service? If
so, you'll have to update the password in the Services applet, for
MSSQLServer service.

Just where do I change the password?
