I have no idea on how SQL works. I'm just trying to use a program that is using SQL Server.
I have SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
In my start menu I only see a list of programs in 2008. In the 2005, I only see Upgrade Advisor.
I installed a program and it's asking for my username and password for the server : localhost:8090. During the installation you can chose between Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication. The SQL Server authentication doesn't work so I'm using the windows authentication.
I tried admin and I get a password error. If I try mycomputername\myusername or myusername mycomputername\sqlexpress sa and I always get wrong username
Is there a way to create a user/password or reset? I tried going into SQL Server Management Studio but I have no idea where to go or how to write.
Should I just reinstall ?
Windows authentication uses the account you are logged on to Windows. SQL Server auth is ordinary login/password, not associated with Windows accounts. You can start SQL Server into single user-mode and reset your password from there / change authentication methods. But your issue is strange because 8090 is not default SQL Server port. Maybe this is not SQL Server but a web server instead? Try opening http://localhost:8090 on the browser and seeing what happens.
