I m using SQL server 2005 express edition and management studio express. I m still confused with some terms. What is the difference between a new server registration, a new login and a named instance? I installed sql express using default configuration. It shows that my server name is- TANVIR\SQLEXPRESS (where Tanvir is my hostname) and it uses windows authentication. I created a new log in from Security>logins in the object explorer of express manager. In the property of this new login I just put the login name and gave password under sql server authentication and leaving everything else as default. I have enabled tcp/ip for both sqlexpress and client protocol in Sql server configuration manger. YET, I cant log in using my new log in name and password. I got the following error-
Cannot connect to TANVIR\SQLEXPRESS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Login failed for user 'Tanvir'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)
------------------------------
I just want to know HOW to create a user with password in sql express edition.

Go server properties- Security- enable Windows and SQL authentication. You have to reboot server and start services for that.

Brother I don't know which properties u meant but I tried with the properties of my default instance-Tanvir\SQLEXPRESS.I enabled Windows and SQL authentication and set a login name and password but it still says-

Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login credentials, and database, and then click Test again.

IN NO WAY IT IS WORKING,I did tha exact way u said.
1.Right click Server and properties and enabling sql server authentication.
2. Set login name and a password
3. stop the server instance as well as service and restart
but when I select sql server authentication and put the specified login name and password....the same error says-
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to TANVIR\SQLEXPRESS.

Login failed for user 'Tanvir'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)

>> my default instance-Tanvir\SQLEXPRESS.

That sounds named instance instead. Double check if sql authentication is still enabled.
