after installing sql server 2005, i messed up the login settings.
I know can't login.
i didn't really understand what i was doing
short of uninstalling, reinstalling, do i have any options?
also do you know of a tutorial for installing (setting windows vs sql
authentication) and then setting up user permissions?
thanks, Jeff
There is usually a default account in the sa role for the local admin
account. Login with that and you should be able to do what you need to do.
