Error at installation of Sql server 2005

  • Hi,

    I am installing Sql Server 2005 express edition on windows server 2008.

    At installation on database services following error occurred.

    Sql server setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration.the error was:[Microsoft][Sql native client][Sql server] login failed for user 'sa'.Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information.

    if any solution ,reply

  • Sounds like you set it up to log in as 'sa' and you don't have the password correctly entered. You may need to try the install again. Pay attention to how you configure it and what passwords you use.
