>>I've installed SQL Server on my Windows 2000 machine on Friday. I set it to use Windows credentials. I believe, I changed Windows password after installation (since the previous password expired). Now SQL server could not be connected (gives me a 1069 Error). I don't know, what to do... I re-booted my computer in false hope, it would work, but it didn't. I've created database on Friday...
