There are a few things to check. First off the default username/pw is

user: sa
Pw:

The pw should be blank, you have 'sa' typed above, and the only way that's possible is if you changed the password policy option. Also your server needs to be running in mixed authentication mode (You would've selected this during install.)

Other then that by default sql server 2005 (and I believe 2000) does not have any connection protocals enabled, so you would need to open up your servers control panel and enable the protocal you are wishing to connect on (i.e. TCP/Named Pipes/etc.)

One of those should do the trick and allow you to connect.
