I had the same problem a while a go the way I fixed was like this:
1.Log in has root user on the server.
2.Swith to postgres user "su postgres"
3.Make a back up of your pg_hda.conf file. On RH this is in
/var/lib/pgsql/data
4.Alter the pg_hda.conf to trust all types of conections and restart the
postmaster. Something like "/etc/init.d/postgres restart"
5.Log into PG using "pgsql template1" then change the sa password using
"ALTER USER sa WITH PASSWORD 'password';
6.You can also check what the password is depending on how the
pg_hda.conf file was setup by using the following syntax in pgsql.
"SELECT * FROM pg_shadow WHERE usename='sa';
7.Note that on PG < version 7 the syntax is slightly different you do not
put the "'" around the password.
8.Copy the backup of the pg_hda.conf file on top of the altered
pg_hda.conf file and restart the postmaster.
9.Check that your security is back to normal.
Hope this helps.

Re: [ADMIN] Password recover:
Is there a way to recover the sa password?
Thanks,
Pete
