Keep in mind - Trusted Connection=yes means you are using windows authentication using your current windows login. you do not specify username and password if you are using Trusted Connection=Yes.

To use SQL authentication (your sa account or others) you specify username and password in the connection string, and you do not include the Trusted Connection stuff.
