Hi Michael,

I'm not sure, I follow you. Could you please give me step by step instruction? Sorry for being such a dumb, but I didn't work with SQL Server before...

>>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...

>>What should I do at this point? Should I try to re-install?

>>Thanks a lot in advance.
