cannot connect to local database in ssms 2012

  • Hi All,
    Please can someone help me how can i connect to local database after the installation of sql server 2012. how can i know which is my local database?

    I went forward and did a check on Sql server configuration manager but i couldn't find any services running there.

    Please guys i need help of you to understand more on this, i am new to SQL server.
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

  • from your screenshots, I'd say you ran the installer, but did not install any SQL services, otherwise you would see them in the Services section you posted the screenshot of.
    rerun the installer and make sure you select the checkbox for "Database Engine Services"
