msde login problem

I installed MSDE in my computer. When I try to connect to a database from a
program I get an error message:
Code = 80004005
Code meaning = Unspecified error
Source = Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description = Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with
a trusted SQL Server connection.
Please help.
AntoninBy default, MSDE is installed with Windows Authentication only. So
unless you've changed it to mixed mode you'll only be able to login with
trusted logins (not 'sa'). To change to mixed mode you have to change a
reg value, viz.
" HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQ
LServer\LoginMode" or
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance
Name>\MSSQLServer\LoginMode" for a named instance (detailed in
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;EN-US;Q325022). The
values for the reg key are:
1 - Windows only mode
2 - Mixed mode (Windows & SQL authentication)
