This is a SWAG, but with MSDE 2K (as with SQL Server 2K) it's possible to install the product to use 1 of 3 authentication modes:

- NT integrated
- SQL Server
- "Mixed mode" which supports both

If it was installed as "NT integrated" (I believe it is the default) then SQL Server mode isn't available.
