is it asking for the sql server name?
asking if you wish to use windows or sql authentication?

just provide as is: name = usually the machine name
use windows authentication, so you don't need to supply loginame and password

Often you need to use the value '(local)' for the server name.

The user/pwd and whether or not you can say "windows authentication" is going to depend on what you selected when you installed the software. I think the default on installation is "both" so you should be able to use Windows Authentication mode if you are using the same logon that you were in when you installed the database. It should have prompted you to input a password for the user 'sa', or let you check a box that would use "no password" for that user. If you recall checking the box you'll need to use the user 'sa' and leave the password blank. If you recall inputting a password for the 'sa' user, then you'll have to use that password.

Hope it helps,
Dalton
