| I just now installed sqlserver 2005 express.I am connecting to it via oracles 'sqldeveloper' using sourceforgejtds jdbc driver. I can connect to the server but I cannot logon probably because I dont know any user id or password.I can't find any reference to the default uid/password in the server 'help'.Does anyone know how to get started?thanksjim murray |

| I installed it with vb express 2003 and it did not ask me any questions on install. I have only one account on my PC. Login fails using windows authentication mode, sysadmin/sysadmin, and sysadmin/null.It also fails using admin/null, admin admin, root/null, and root/root.Is there a setup step I missed?jim |
