Re: Cannot login to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Authentication

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

By default SQL Server is installed to only accept Windows (SSPI) authentication credentials. You'll need to reconfigure (and restart) SQL Server to handle mixed-mode security.

I am unable to login to Server Management Express using Server
Authentication. I am able to login using Windows Authentication
though. I setup a new logic using Server Authentication but get the
following message:

Cannot connect to MIKE-PC.
===================================
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an
error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory
Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
(.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Server Name: MIKE-PC
Error Number: 233
Severity: 20
State: 0

I am running SQL Server 2005 Express on my local PC and would like to
use the SQL Server Authentication so that a VB programcan access the
database.

Any idea where to look for more info to resolve this?

Thanks in advance,
