Property IsLocked is not available

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and when I tried to connect to my 2005 database using SQL server authentication it gave me an error. When I went to the management studio to check on the login it said this:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------

Cannot show requested dialog.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Cannot show requested dialog. (SqlMgmt)

------------------------------

Property IsLocked is not available for Login '[sa]'. This property may not exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Has anyone ever seen this before and know how to solve it

I ran into the same issue today when I installed an instance of SQL 2005 using Windows Auth. mode. After the install I switched the server over to SQL and Windows Auth mode and ran into the 'sa' problem. I ran the following command and then could see the properties of 'sa' within mgmt studio.

alter login sa

with password = 'yourpwd' unlock,

check_policy = off,

check_expiration = off
