I just now installed sqlserver 2005 express.
I am connecting to it via oracles 'sqldeveloper' using sourceforge
jtds 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?

thanks

If you are administrator of computer and use windows authentication mode, you can use sysadmin account to login to sql server.

Are you using Windows Authentication or SQL Server authentication? What authentication mode you set while installing SQL Server express?

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?
