I probably didn't explain myself clearly. I needed to connect to a database from asp.net page using User ID and Password. I didn't realize that SQL Server already had "sa" ID set up and that I could add other users in the Login window of the SQL Server. I thought I needed to change the SQL Server Registration property to have a User ID and a Password. So what I was saying is that instead of editing SQL Server Registration properties, all I needed was to go to the Logins and add a new ID and Password there. I hope I make sense now.
