Ruslan, you seem to avoid answering this question: Is it really the 
only way to change a password to create a new user?

If so, changing password for user sa must be a multi-step process to 
make it safe.

1. create a new (tmp) admin
2. login as new admin
3. delete sa
4. recreate sa with new pass
5. login as sa
6. delete tmp admin

Changing passwords for existing users is such a basic function that 
it should be simpler than that.
