MSDE installation for .Text blogging

Hi All
A little help for MSDE please. I have tried and tried but
no luck ;-(
I followed the steps on the Installation page and
installed .Text and MSDE.
To install MSDE i used the instructions
Setup SAPWD=Test123 SecurityMode=SQL
My first question is
In the connection string, whats the username for the MSDE.
I tried looking for a default login but couldn't find one.
If i use my domain login, it doesn't work.
When i load the default page i get
"Sql Server does not exist or access denied"
I know Sql Server Exists and i can use the MSDE Query
tool. If i use NT Auth i can log in. Please advise for the
connection string.
<DbProvider type
= "Dottext.Framework.Data.SqlDataProvider,
Dottext.Framework"
connectionString = "Password=test1234;Persist
Security Info=True;User ID=admin;Initial
Catalog=blogDb;Data Source=localhost" />
Do i need to grant users for access. how do i do that.
I havent used databases in about 10 yers. a little rusty.

for potential causes of access denied, please have a look at

please verify MSDE accepts SQL Server connections too, and that the
credentials you are passing have been granted logins rights...
the "admin" SQL Server user must of course exists in SQL Server logins
collection, and so all other logins, both WindowsNT and SQL Server...
you can do that via oSql.exe, the command prompt management tool provided
with MSDE, more info at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q325003, but for
your convenience, you can have a look at further management tools, both free
and/or commercials, at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp and/or
