By default when installing SQL Server the built in administrators group is added into the sysadmin role, so as long as you/they can connect to the SQL Server instance with an account that's a local administrator on that machine, you should be able to troubleshoot appropriately i.e. (reset the sa password, etc)
That used to be the case but is not done by default in SQL 2008 installers and above.
