Recover password in SQL Server 2000

I have forgotten my password root in SQL Server 2000. Is there some way to recover it without having to install SQL Server again?

There isn't a method to reverse the password stored by SQL Server. If you're using mixed mode, you might be able to use a network sniffer to see the password zoom by on the wire.
