Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server Newbies Cannot connect to (server name) after sql server 2008 installation RE: Cannot connect to (server name) after sql server 2008 installation

  • Dear Lakshmi,

    In the server name textbox write "localhost" or try with a simple "." (Without the double quotes :-)) as the servername and use the existing username and password. Probably you will have sa password in case you have installed sql server with windows authentication then you just need to enter the servername and select Authentication as windows Authentication and click on OK.

    Hope it helps.
